Flatwater Kayak Introduction

About this class

A beginner flatwater kayak lesson on the calm stretch of the Potomac near the school's launch site, covering paddle grip and control, the forward stroke, sweep turns, and wet exit technique in a structured class that gives new kayakers the skills to paddle independently on calm water after a single session.
