KAYAKING ACADEMY of WICHITA FALLS!
Hey there Blazing Paddlers and Paddler wannabe's.  Spring is coming soon!
By mid-March I will have my ACA Kayak Instructor L1 Certification and my First Aid/CPR/AED certification.
I have expanded my fleet and will soon have 5 sit-in kayaks and 1 sit-on-top (SOT) ready for  Kayaking Academy of Wichita Falls.
The Academy will kick off with two levels of kayak classes. The class size is limited to 5 students. Kayaks and gear are provided for the class.

• Intro to Kayaking 101  a three hour class covering 6 basic strokes, water safety, how to get your kayak buddy back into their kayak after a woops I fell in, basic kayak knowledge, types of boats, paddles, and PDFs -(personal flotation device).  This is a fun class that will eliminate your fear of paddling and get you started right in a great sport for all ages. 
• Intermediate Kayak 201 a 6 hour class on the water covering additional stroke: bow rudder, sculling, stern rudder, side slip, hanging draw, low brace. You will learn to edge the kayak for more effective turning. Self-rescue will be thoroughly covered. This is a class will give you much more to add to your skills base and ensures that you will be able to rescue yourself.  Kayaking 101 is a prerequisite.  

WATCH FOR IT:   KAYAKING ACADEMY of WICHITA FALLS  coming soon!
