To really enjoy and be safe when paddling in the Pacific North West and many places around the world you need to understand tidal currents. This class is an in-depth and intense study of currents. We will learn to play, paddle, do rescues, plan strategic crossings and navigate some of the most interesting tidal areas in the San Juan Archipelago. We will also take time to fully understand the causes of big tidal flows and which bathymetric features create fun and/or dangerous tidal currents so you can plan safe and exciting trips in the future.
