Hello All, I thought it would be important to learn the necessary skills to rescue yourself and possibly others before opening day. So if you are interested in this free clinic please call and book your spot. There is limited space.

For those of you who think you have it all figured out, ask yourself "Can I get back in to my kayak if I have an injured shoulder or leg?" These are skills that everyone should be practicing every year and keep up to date on. We will also be going over what proper safety equipment you should be carrying both for yourself and for others on the water.

We are a community of kayakers and everyone should be prepared for the worst and know what to do when rescuing others. This will in turn be helping out the entire Kayaking community. Last year there were too many rescues of people that could not get back in their boat. Don't let this happen to you. There is always a way to get back in and with ease!

I’ll try and make this, I love a good dip
I definitely need a review of my personal safety gear as well
Great idea doing this prior to the main opener, although I hope to have a couple trips under my belt by then  :smt044

its in the one you'll be fishing in :smt005

I'm just being snarky.
It's in the ocean off of Del Monte I believe.
Quite protected but you'll want a wetsuit, which they will provide, according to the flyer.

We really want people to learn in an environment where they will actually be in so this class is in the ocean. We will provide a wetsuit for you

Doing this class with my son.  Did the surf zone class last year -- was great fun and learned a ton.

Weather permitting, we will try for sanddabs either before or after the class.

I have 7 more spots available. It is a good time to practice and learn new techniques to get back into your kayak. We will also be covering proper safety gear. Opener is around the corner. Lets make sure no one has to call Coasties this year

Hello All,

I still have a handful of spots left so please call me at (800)649-5357 to sign up. This is a great class that will be going over safety equipment and multiple different ways of getting back into your kayak if you capsize. With the season drawing closer this is an important class. Many of you have not tried a rescue in a long time. If you don't take this clinic I urge you to get out there and practice on your own before you go offshore.
