CLASS DESCRIPTION
This is a great opportunity to expand your paddling horizons with a Sea Trek instructor. Our route will depend on the day’s tides, currents, and wind patterns. We may paddle to the tip of Belvedere or up to Mill Valley along Pickleweed Inlet. You’ll have plenty of time to benefit from more coaching on paddling technique, tap your instructor for safety tips, and appreciate the camaraderie of other kayakers wishing to develop their skills while enjoying being out in nature.
Bring snacks and water. The class starts at Sea Trek’s Bay Model location. Wetsuit, paddle jacket, and other kayaking equipment are included in the cost of the class. To reserve your spot today, register by clicking the BOOK NOW button above or call (415) 332-8494.
