Safety Review Half Day

Prevention. Response. Confidence. Open to everyone, but designed especially for those who have some kayaking experience but have never practiced falling out and would like to join us for a trip that requires it. Capsizing calmly and knowing how to get back in with help is the primary objective of this short course. If we accomplish that, we can proceed to things like bracing for support, re-entering solo, tips for efficient paddling, or even starting to learn the roll.

All paddling gear and National Park passes included.

3 hours

Skill Level

Beginner; paddled a few times. Moderate activity.

Safety Review is customized to your needs and usually runs as a small class, so it’s difficult to put meaningful prerequisites. Perhaps you’ve paddled a bit but never gotten comfortable with falling out and getting back in. It could be that you fall out just fine but struggle to get back in from deep water and want to try out different strategies – there are many and it will increase your confidence tremendously to know what works well for you. Maybe your skilled group wants to practice rescuing each other in the kayaks you’ll use for your trip.

You should at least be beyond Kayak Start course, and able to confidently maneuver to a target, or else take that course first.

Your class is at “La Negrita beach” in front of our Expedition base.

Our NEW Expedition Base is located near the center of Loreto, on Calle Davis, El Jaral. A block from the north end of the waterfront.  It is staffed at designated meeting times and during store hours. https://maps.app.goo.gl/w4y5bxstcUMvbg7y5 

Directions

Go to the waterfront, and walk NORTH on the Malecon (the waterfront road/walkway). At the end of the road and walkway, turn inland one block, then turn (right) to Calle Davis, then walk until you see a white building with a wooden gate and our storefront. We will be prepared to meet you at the pre-arranged meeting time, or during store hours.
