Event Information

The SK-0 sea kayak lesson is your introduction to sea
kayaking with the club and is required to use our sea kayaks. To take this lesson you must have completed
the kayak lake lesson and passed the swim test. Once completed, you can use the club's sea
kayaks on Lake Mendota and go on quiet water sea kayak trips.
In this lesson you will learn about the club's sea kayaks
and equipment, work on forward and sweep strokes, learn the T-rescue (an
assisted rescue to get you back in your kayak if you've capsized), and learn
about safety concerns for sea kayaking.
You will be doing a wet exit and spending some time in the water during this lesson. Wear water sports clothing appropriate for the temperature and water shoes. Make sure the shoes you wear for the lesson do not have laces, because they can get caught in the kayak’s foot pegs. Water temperature is getting colder, so dressing in layers (of fleece, wool, or neoprene) is a good idea. Don’t wear cotton clothing in the water because it will not keep you warm when wet. The club has a limited number of wet suits available for use on a first come, first served basis. Also, don't forget to pack a change of dry clothes. - Event Type
