sounds like you are sorted, but I have a couple if needed

[Meridy Black]

I would like to volunteer for this day as well. Count me in!

[Meridy Black]

Thank you so much Lynda! I will make a note to remind your husband closer to the course date.

Hi Melody,

I have a helmet that should fit you. My husband Don is the assistant leader for the course, so he can bring it (you should check in with him closer to the date to remind him).

Hi club members,

I am wondering if someone might have a paddling helmet to lend me for the currents course from June 12-14th? I need a size S/M helmet. I don’t paddle whitewater so haven’t purchased a helmet as part of my regular paddling gear. Thanks for your consideration.

Meridy

Do put yourself on the waitlist.  If there is still a lot of interest there is a CHANCE that another session may be planned.  That is dependent on volunteer availability also.
I know of at least one other person on the waitlist currently.

I did this course in uklulet – worth the trip!

Deep Cove has great instructors and rentals are available.

Another option is to look at Club Locarno.

Thanks for the heads up, Don! I will check them out.

[Don Froese]

Hi Steven: try Jericho Beach kayak or deep Cove kayak for lessons. You should be able to rent a boat from either too

 

Cheers, Don Froese

Hello,

I am a new SKABC member interested in taking an introductory course to sea kayaking safety. Regrettably, the current Beginner Course coincides with me being out of town, otherwise I’d sign up for the waitlist.

Are there similar courses elsewhere that SKABC members may recommend? I do not have a kayak of my own, so bonus points if rentals are available from the business/organization offering training.

Thank you,

Steven M.

There are good rip currents at Ambleside this weekend – I will likely be out Saturday and Monday, maybe all three days.  If we get some northwest wind there could be good surfing waves!  Peak current times are:

Sat. May 16 – 9:07am -5.4Ebb

Sun. May 17 – 9:51am -5.6Ebb

Mon. May 18 – 10:38am – 5.6Ebb
