This is the first clinic in the Foundations Core Program and is taught 100% on dry land. It is a 4 hour clinic focused on all of the ins and outs of essential river kayaking gear and essentials. Before getting on the water, you need to make sure that you have everything you will need to garner success in the Foundations Core program. We will discuss all of the following: boats, paddles, PFDs, throw ropes, floatation, first aid, clothing, splash & dry gear, footwear, extras.
