When: August 1, 2021 from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
SKABC guidelines recommend trip participants undertake regular (at least yearly) practice of wet-exits and self- and assisted-rescues. Such activities, although perhaps a little daunting to novices and even experienced sea-kayakers who prefer to refrain from being upside down in water, can be very beneficial in promoting confidence, building skills, and
friendships, and may even be fun! With these in mind, SKABC is offering half-day opportunities to demonstrate and practice basic rescues.
