Intro to Basic Rescue Techniques for Recreational Kayaking

(Rec K Clinic #4)

Steve Levick – Lead Instructor

Topic: The pleasure of river kayaking has to be combined with an awareness of potential risks associated with it. This clinic will focus on some of the safety and rescue concerns for recreational kayaking and techniques to address them.  Water hazards, wading techniques, assisted re-entry into kayaks, and kayak towing will be addressed as time permits.

Students should arrive by 5:30 to get their equipment and be fitted to boats so all can be on the river by 6:00.

Note: Paddling is a wet sport. Please bring a towel and change of clothes. Do not wear cotton clothing. Cotton absorbs water quickly, becomes heavy and will chill you. A swim suit under synthetic shorts is preferable.  Protect your feet with river shoes or close toed shoes that fit securely, no sandals. Bring drinking water in a plastic bottle.
