At Salish Sea Kayak School, we can expose you to a wide variety of techniques and knowledge to make you a competent and safe paddler, but gaining and “dialing in” those skills is up to you. Nothing is a substitute for hours in a boat, paddling in varying conditions and learning how you and your boat anticipate and react to the water and weather. If you want formal instruction beyond what we can provide, we can recommend 3 regional companies with strong reputations for excellence in advanced technique instruction: Kayak Academy in Issaquah, Body Boat Blade International on Orcas Island, and SKILS in Uclulet, B.C.
