Kayak Lake Lesson & SK0 Lesson

Want to kayak with Hoofers? Whether you're interested in whitewater or sea kayaking, the first step is to take the kayak lake lesson. This covers basic kayaking and safety skills. We'll also cover boats and gear. The club has all you need, but there are rules on using it. 

Will combine this kayak lake lesson with SK0 lesson.  Bring thermal underlayers, light wool top if possible, because you will get wet.  The club has wet suits and paddling jackets that participates will wear.

Will cancel lesson, if there are strong winds or a change of rain. 

Meet outside of the Boathouse near the piers. You'll need to be dressed ready to get wet---swimsuit, maybe a synthetic shirt for sun protection (and a little warmth and comfort), and some kind of footwear (wet suit booties, aqua socks, water shoes, etc.----sports sandals generally DO NOT work well (like Tevas or Chacos)---sneakers can work, but they should be as low profile (thin soled) as possible). Going barefoot is not allowed.

You also might bring some nose-plugs/clips as one thing we will cover is the wet exit---capsizing and getting yourself out of the boat safely. Also bring a dry change of clothes & towel (there are showers/changing rooms in the Boathouse bathrooms).
