Sea Kayak Rock Gardening

Learn kayak skills to sea kayak, explore and play in the rock gardens of the Mendocino Coast. 

The Mendocino Coast has a beautiful and rocky coastline to explore by kayak. Liquid Fusion Kayaking has developed a systematic approach to teach paddlers to paddle confidently and comfortably in rock gardens and sea caves.

In this 6 hour course, paddlers will learn and apply concepts and skills for boat control and maeuvering around rocks and in sea caves, reading water, recognizing hazards, and safety and rescue techniques.

Mark - "I was just paddling off the coast of Washington with a friend who recently took your rock gardening class.  We came across a challenging stretch of confused waters which she handled with ease.  The improvement in her confidence and skills is remarkable since she returned from her instruction with Liquid Fusion Kayaking."

Prerequisites:  Essential Kayak Skills, 10 hours paddling time, and BCU 2 * Equivalent Skills.
