Sea Kayak Instruction

Duncan falls for a Valley Argonaut off Kyleakin


I am an ACA certified Sea Kayak Instructor, and teach the "Basic Strokes and Rescues" class. This full-day class is suitable both for beginner sea kayakers and those with  experience who wish to learn the basic stroke techniques, and self and assisted rescue skills. I keep class sizes small (5 students or less) to allow for an informal, flexible, and personalized learning experience, and keep costs affordable.
