Skills Session #3 (Saturday 7/22/23) will continue to bring awareness to the characteristics of the ocean environment, body position and edging, while adding turning strokes to your tool kit. After some attention to these skills, we will go for a moderate paddle and apply the skills underway. Upon returning to the launch, will will pause for rescue practice if appropriate. All skill levels welcome, experienced paddlers will have the opportunity for refinement and those with emerging skills will find support and guidance in your pursuit of sea kayaking.
