Important Tip:
Beginner Plus is our most popular class as it merges our beginner class with some elements of intermediate skill sets. This is still a suitable class for first-time-ever paddlers. Beginner Plus classes are 3.5 hours on water with more time allocated to test paddle different kayaks and paddles. If you just bought kayak gear, please bring it along so the instructor can make fit recommendations.
