Rock Garden 101

After you have learned the basics on flat water, learn kayak skills to explore 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, we 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.

Prerequisites:  Essential Kayak Skills I and 10 hours paddling time.

For those with more advanced skills and previous coastal and rock gardening experience - check out our Sea Kayak Rock Gardening and Whitewater Kayak Rock Gardening classes.
