B Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Press Release Boston Bob Burnett joins the Kayak Academy Knowing that this amazing sea kayak teacher's experience and philosophy of "Combat Kayaking" would fit in well with ours, we asked Bob to join us in the middle of last summer to teach tidal rapids and surf for George Gronseth (Deep Trouble) at The Kayak Academy in Seattle. This year he will be working full time teaching and leading Tidal Rapids at Deception Pass and Surf Survival, as well as programs new to the Kayak Academy. This year he will be teaching a 5 day San Juan Islands Expeditions classes for paddlers proficient with basic strokes and are fairly paddling fit for 15 mile days in loaded boats. The focus will be on building SOLO expedition skills in a dynamic environment of wind, 3-4 knot currents with plenty of tidal rips. Although the San Juan Islands are not as remote as the Kayak Academy's Open Coast trip in Sitka AK, they offer some of the most challenging paddling in currents and beautiful scenery in the Northwest. We have also added more Tidal Rapids classes as a follow up to our 5 day training class for those that are ready for learning to handle currents of 6+ knots in our famous Deception Pass. Bob is also leading and teaching one of the more challenging trips that a sea kayaker can do in the Northwest. The Famous "Cattle Pass" trip from Anacortes to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands. This one day journey of 23 nm will take you south across busy Rosario Straits on a 3+ knot, sometimes wind opposed, current and then through the famous boat eating Cattle Pass with currents running 4-5 knots with all it's standing waves and kayak sized whirlpools on the way to our take out. You just never know what you'll get for conditions on this challenging journey. Bob will be doing what he does best, pushing you to the limits and beyond, challenging you every step of the way, building new skills around every corner. Also, being the worlds largest and most experienced retailer of Kokatat Drysuits in the world, you may also even hear Bob's voice on the other end if you call us to register for classes.
