Chesapeake Paddlers Association's Introduction to Sea Kayaking
Chesapeake Paddlers Association, Inc. (CPA) is presenting a one-day introductory course on the basics of sea kayaking, on Saturday, March 15, 2014, from 8:30AM to 4:00PM, at the West River Center (30 minutes south of Annapolis). The cost is $30, which covers facilities rental, and two meals (a light breakfast and lunch).
Our introduction to sea kayaking (SK-101) provides the opportunity to learn from experienced paddlers, who will speak about many different aspects of kayaks and paddling. Starting with the wide range of types of kayak designs and paddles, we can help you identify the factors that will help you choose what's right for you. We will also cover the equipment you need to start paddling, the basics of safe paddling, how to find people to paddle with, interesting places to paddle, and related topics.
A display of kayaks, paddles, equipment, clothing, car rack systems, and a variety of kayaking gear will be on hand, and you will have ample time to talk to people who do a lot of sea kayaking. Although this event is primarily for those interested in getting into the sport or new to it, everyone is invited to come and expand their on-water horizons.
