The second of two dynamic, three-day sessions focused on paddling in tides, current and rock gardens, navigating open-water crossings, and more! We’re teaming up with Scott Fairty of The Power of Water and Bill Lozano of Atlantic Kayak Tours to offer this opportunity for some top-notch coaching in a dynamic ocean environment, where you can develop skills while having fun and enjoying Rhode Island’s craggy, scenic shoreline.
Rough plan (depending on conditions and group desires):
Evening prior to Day 1: Meet to go over goals and plan for the next day.
Day 1: Intro to salty water paddling: tides, currents and rock gardening
Day 2: Salty water skills: tidal races, surfing, navigation
Day 3: Journey to Block Island or Fishers Island, paddling in following and beam seas, on-the-fly navigation and conditions that arise; or 3 Star Sea Assessment.
Coaches:
Bill Lozano, Atlantic Kayak Tours
Scott Fairty, Power of Water
Alec Bloyd-Peshkin, Have Kayaks, Will Travel
Sharon Bloyd-Peshkin, Have Kayaks, Will Travel
With four coaches, we’re able to offer flexibility during each session and create a progression between the two. Join us for either session, or both!
Boats: Bring your own; send yours out with Alec and Sharon ($50 transportation fee both ways), or rent one from Bill.
Cost: $375 per participant for one session; $695 for both.
