Great for beginners and Improvers alike! Starting with a strong foundation in your kayak skills will allow you to progress quickly and master the “art” of kayaking. Experienced paddlers with weak foundations often encounter problems achieving goals and risk injury as they paddle in more demanding environments. Our beginner kayak classes develop good body awareness, balance, and understanding of how the boat and paddle interact with the water. A solid base of skills will make you a more effective and efficient paddler which will increase your fun and enjoyment of kayaking. Even advanced kayakers can benefit from participating in these kayak classes. Join us!
A successful kayak rescue could be the difference between life and death. Learn simple kayak rescue skills that work anywhere – from calm water bays to dynamic water environments. These series of Safety and Rescue classes help you to develop a large “tool box” of practical rescue skills that can be used when you need them most. Gain the skill and confidence to preform a rescue and how to manage an incident before it gets out of hand. Take a rescue class each year as a refresher. Although the content is serious, the class is fun!
The first step to register for a class with Body Boat Blade is to select an available date from the Class Schedule and complete your online reservation. A few of our courses are not on the schedule. For these courses please contact us to discuss your needs and objectives for a personalized course of study.
Next, as part of the onboarding process for all courses, each participant fills out a questionnaire about past kayak experience and general health. We find this extra step helps ensure you get the greatest benefit from your time with us and that you have found the right class to grow your kayaking skills.
BBB coaches review each application. We will get in touch with you to confirm that your application has been successfully reviewed or to clarify any questions that may arise. Once you receive your confirmation, your next step will be found in Getting Ready

You can expect a low student to instructor ratio that is appropriate to your class, a lot of one-on-one time with instructors, and coaching that matches your learning style.
Full Day courses will last approximately 6-8hrs, depending on the needs of the group and prevailing conditions.
