These are our customer specific classes that are intended for a paddler who only wants to work on a specific thing.
We are located in Pinellas County Florida. We are conveniently positioned between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
We offer private sea kayaking lessons for an individual & couples (2 students per class max) from a basic introduction to kayaking to more advanced skills such as Greenland Kayak Rolling. Each class is unique and customized to your personal goals. Kayaks, PFD & paddle are not provided.
