Judy Diltz allowed me the privilege of taking her out for a kayak lesson. She did great! I am so proud of my friend judy! This was a beautiful day for kayaking.

KAYAK- PADDLING INSTRUCTION CLASS
YES!!! Looks like a nicer weekend coming up! I have set aside Friday and Saturday weather permitting for Kayaking Instruction. Most likely to paddle on Lake Arrowhead. A critical portion of the class is the safety drill: wet exit from kayak and re-entry with the assistance of a buddy - this skill will be addressed, but not in really cold water. We will at least practice this on land so you can get a grasp of what to do in case of that "oops I tumped my kayak". See my prior post re: kayak instruction. Contact me through this blog if you are ready to get a lesson in before winter.
Kayakers are also invited to travel to the city of Bridgeport on Sunday to paddle the Bridgeport Falls -Texas Paddling Trail. I have 3 kayaks available for this trip.
WHAT TO WEAR:
During these Fall days kayakers layer themselves with synthetics... and wear NO COTTON. Cotton just takes too long to dry out! A long sleeve synthetic T, a "fishing shirt", fleece jacket, if necessary.... and a hat! Hats keep body heat from pouring out the top. For pants.. NO DENIM. Grab a pair of lycra, or synthetic blend pants (zip-off leg hiking or fishing pant is great). A wind/rain jacket is very handy to keep you warm. .... ah, but the SUN should be out for us! I find most of my "kayaking" clothes at the local Academy for a very reasonable price. Hey. We are paddling!
Please contact me as soon as possible so you can get in on this Intro to Kayaking!
Looking forward to it!
