White Water
After you complete KAYAKING 301 Whitewater II we recommend you join one
of our Instructional river trips
on one of the area rivers to hone and
develop the skills you learned in your first three courses.
From there you can join one of the
Keelhauler trips
and the sky is the limit.
Flat Water Kayaking
We have
rec boat tours
where you can relax and enjoy mother nature. We also have "Intro to Kayaking" which provides instruction in the
basics using recreational kayaks (no spray skirts).
Our Classes:
|
For all Cleveland Kayak classes and tours,
we provide the kayak and gear. See "What to Bring" for more details.
Following our progression of classes, you will begin on quiet
water and progress in difficulty.
Location of White Water classes: Due to variation in water levels throughout the paddling season,
occasionally the location for the Whitewater I and II classes has to be changed. We attempt
to select a location as close to the Cleveland area as possible, but sometimes (like the later
part of the summer) we need to go into Pennsylvania to find rivers with sufficient water.
Should a class location need to be changed we will alert you to the possibility as early as we can,
and then confirm the location 48 hours prior to your class.
There is a $10 discount if you bring your own kayak and all needed gear. Please contact us to
discuss whether your kayak/gear is appropriate for the intended class/tour.

KAYAKING 101 - Fundamentals of Kayaking
- Classes to be continued Spring 2009

Whether you see yourself floating lazily down a summer stream,
day tripping on a quiet reservoir or raging through the jaws of frothing
whitewater, this is the place to begin. This one day class will introduce
you to concepts that will help keep you safe years from now. Here you will
learn the basic paddle strokes that are key to maneuvering any kayak; and you
will learn what to do in the event your kayak capsizes. If your goal is to move
onto whitewater, the importance of developing strong proper stroke technique from
the beginning can’t be stressed enough.
Starts 10am (about 6 hours) Cost: $80

- Classes to be continued Spring 2009

This is where you put it all together to become a whitewater boater.
We start with a review of Whitewater I and
work on any areas that need attention. Then we apply these
skills as you learn techniques used to run a whitewater stream.
You will be introduced to the concepts of reading and following a line on the river,
scouting rapids, and portaging as well as other things we feel you will
need to successfully run this river.
