How do you become a better sea kayaker? One way is to go white water paddling. This is a great way to learn how to handle strong currents and rough water. While there are many outfitters that can introduce you to white water kayaking, we are the only ones offering a program designed for sea kayakers. Learn the basics including: ferrying, eddy turns, peel-outs, surfing, and more. These programs are as much fun as they are informative.
