Event Description:  These locations provide a great opportunity for intermediate paddlers to learn and practice strokes and rescues, as well as safely manage movement through open water challenges such as surf, rough water, and current. This 3 day training is a great opportunity for any intermediate level paddler interested in getting more comfortable in “open water” conditions, which may include larger waves, breaking surf and currents. This course is also designed to provide the aspiring sea kayak instructor the opportunity to teach and earn credit for an  L3 IDW’s, updates and skills assessment.  If  you have always wanted to “push the envelope” a bit out in the ocean and have plenty of L4 coaches around for safety and coaching this training event is for you.  Here are some of things we will be doing.
