Surfing the Long Boat


Have you ever had one of those days where the waves start to come up just as you are getting ready to land at the end of a long paddling day? Would you like to learn how to land and launch through that stuff? If so, you have come to the right place.
This class is specifically designed for sea kayakers who want to learn to handle surf environments. This dynamic and exciting place challenges your skills, and is a wonderful place to fine tune your abilities. Your certified instructor will show you how to brace in surf, judge landing areas, and land on the beach. We will also discuss rescues in surf, and your instructor will give you plenty of opportunity to practice your newfound skills and increase your confidence in this exciting, fun filled day.

Pre-Requisite: Strokes and Rescues
7 hour class (9am start)

Surfing the Short Boat

The time is here to tear up the waves and hang ten…
If you have ventured to the surf, perhaps in a long boat, perhaps body surfing, and thought to yourself “I want to really rip the waves up!” we will show you how. Surfing in “short boats” is a totally unique, totally fun experience, and it helps to have a helping hand.
Diagonal running on a wave is one of the crucial skills for any short boat surfer- it allows you to stay on the wave longer, avoid getting thrashed, and lays the basis for another crucial skill, the bottom turn. Trust us, these skills are MUCH easier to learn with a experienced eye there to give you some top tips as well as video feedback.
Your instructors, skilled kayak surfers as well as talented teachers, will demonstrate good surfing practices including reading waves, surf etiquette, breaking out through the surf zone, catching waves, proper boat trim and weighting, edging and steering strokes, bracing, and dealing with capsizes in surf. Progressing at each student’s own pace we will have you carving the wave up in no time!

Pre-Requisite: Strokes and Rescues. A solid roll is a great advantage, though not required.
