Registration

  • Active club members, including kayaking professional and lifetime. Provisional acceptance, pending approval by the trip organizer if this is a paddle

Registration is closed
  •  This trip is limited to members with a wet exit certification (except for level 1 trips when the paddler is not using a spray skirt....if the paddler is wearing a spray skirt on a level 1 paddle, the Wet Exit Certification is REQUIRED).  To successfully register you will need to sign into your OOPS member account, and your account will need to be a member of the "Wet Exit Certified" group if you intend to wear a spray skirt.  Your acceptance is conditional on approval by the Organizer, who may contact you with questions about your skills and equipment.  If the measured water temperature is different enough from that listed below to warrant a change in required immersion protection, the Organizer will contact all participants and the Trips Board member with the update at least a day before the trip.

Activity Title:
 Intro to Basic Strokes and Maneuvers
Date of Activity: 4/23/2021
Narrative: How do you move your boat in circles, sideways, quickly in one direction, and even backwards? Find out as we practice introductory-level basic kayak strokes in the Cedaroak Lagoon. You must be wet-exit certified and confident in your abilities to wet-exit to sign up for this class.

Be water-ready by 10:00 a.m. with your boat on the beach to the upstream side of the ramp and dock. We'll be on the water from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with a half-hour lunch break. Cedaroak Boat Ramp has free parking and restrooms. Parking is limited. If the single-car spaces are full, drop off your boat and gear and park up the hill. It's less than a five-minute walk back down. I’m a former ACA Level 2 instructor, but I did not renew my certification.
