Worried about tipping over in your kayak in the middle of a lake? This class is for you.
Bend, OR – If you’ve ever wondered how you would ever get back in your kayak if you flipped over far from shore, or if you are looking to take your kayaking to the next level and do some exploring on the ocean, Tumalo Creek’s Flatwater Kayak Safety Class can help alleviate some anxiety about unexpectedly rolling over. This class is also well suited for those who are often on the water with less experienced boaters and want to keep them safe.
Seasoned kayaker Jeanne Russell will discuss basic safety options including proper clothing, equipment and rescue skill development. Paddlers will practice assisted and self-rescue techniques – so plan on getting wet!
Tuamlo Creek Kayak & Canoe will be providing all equipment including kayaks, PFDs, paddles and safety equipment. Participants are welcome to bring their own boats.
Please dress with the expectation that you will be swimming occasionally and bring a set of warm clothes to change into immediately after class.
Flatwater Kayak Safety Class costs $45. Register by calling Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe at 541.317.9407 or emailing john@tumalocreek.com
