About the event
June 13-16, 2019 Intro to Coastal Paddling:
Ever wanted to start paddling in the ocean but weren't sure where to start? Let the instructors at CCK take you on a beautiful three days of textured salt water paddling in the dynamic and nature-filled environment of Southport, NC.
We will cover basic skills such as self and assisted rescues, beach launches and landings, and handling your boat in wavy water. Other topics will include currents and tides, water reading, and practical navigation. Some prior experience in flat water is required, as is a touring or sea kayak.
Coaching Staff: Randi Kruger ACA L4 Coastal, Brian Stevens ACA L5 Coastal, and a rotating cast of fabulous instructors from up and down the East Coast.
Students should arrive in Southport the evening of Thursday June 13th, in order to be ready to go the next morning.
There are hotels and Airbnbs for those students who want to arrange their own housing, or we may be able to snag a group Airbnb if we have enough interest.
Coastal Workshops are $225. Students will receive an emailed invoice, payable with any debit, credit card, or PayPal. Single day sessions are $95. Contact us to enquire about the Wave Play Package and Two Paddler Discounts; save money, play more.
Some demo boats and equipment are available, but must be arranged prior to event.
Contact Randi for more info on classes, packages, and available discounts.
