I am new to kayaking and have a question about classes, if anyone has
a minute to respond. I just completed a beginning sea kayaking class, and would like to take a sea kayaking II class in a few weeks. I've been looking around online at different outfitters and have found that what they say they cover in first and second classes varies. The class I took covered basic strokes, T-rescue, and self rescue (which was invaluable and made a huge different in my level of confidence on the water). The SK2 class with the same outfitter covers boat lean and edging, rescue review, and basic navigation. Launching and landing, and bracing aren't covered until the next level class. Other outfitters seem to cover bracing in the first class and have some other variations as well. The outfitter I'm using has locations on both a lake and a bay. My question (finally) for those of you with some experience, or who may even be instructors, is, what do you think should be included in each class level? Does it depend on location (lake, bay, etc.)? Any other pointers in looking for instruction are also welcome. Thanks. Robyn |
