Learn the Basics

We know that getting out on the water, especially the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest, can be a little scary. That is why we offer a basics course to help you better understand the mechanics of all your gear. We'll start out in the secluded area known by locals as Mud Bay. First we'll go through some basics of water safety, talk about self rescue, and obstacles to watch out for. After a little stretch, we'll embark our boats and start out in the very calm waters. You'll have plenty of time to play around with little to no turbulence. If everyone in the group feels comfortable, we will then venture out a little further into more open water. We'll have to go at high tide, so times will vary throughout the year. Please refer to our FAQ page or contact us with any questions.
