******************

What to wear: usually a bathing suit works best (this IS a watersport!)  You can wear shorts and a t-shirt or a warm-up suit or windbreaker over it – depending on the weather. You  will probably get a little wet. Wear either sandals or water shoes or old sneakers (not the ones you will drive home in). It’s always a good idea to have dry clothes in the car just in case you slip getting in or out of the boat!

 What to bring: a water bottle (MANDATORY ),  gloves ( if you blister easily), towel (leave it in the car), sunscreen, hat and insect repellant.  You can bring lunch if you like, although a light snack and drink are provided.  

******************

ALL TIMES & LOCATIONS ARE TENTATIVE.

CALL FOR CONFIRMATION, RESERVATIONS, & DIRECTIONS.

ALL TRIPS ARE DEPENDANT ON TEMPERATURE and WEATHER CONDITIONS and ADEQUATE  ENROLLMENT.

IF IN DOUBT, CALL BEFORE 8 AM FOR CONFIRMATION.

ADVANCED INSTRUCTION AND ROLLING LESSONS AVAILABLE PRIVATELY
