Sea Kayak Rock Gardening
Welcome to our playground!
Experience a playful exploration of the rock gardens of the Mendocino Coast. We'll show you some of our favorite spots and teach you the tricks of rock gardening - dart into sea caves, glide down waves, charge pour-overs, and carve through surge chanels - all the while marveling at the incredible beauty of the wild Mendocino Coast.
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."
This 6 hour course is designed for intermediate through advanced sea kayakers who want to learn how to play and explore rock gardens and whitewater features of the ocean. (Novice Paddlers will benefit from taking our Rock Garden 101 before progressing to this class).
Prerequisites - Proficient maneuvering and bracing skills in rough water. Self-rescue skills are necessary and a reliable eskimo roll is highly recommended. Paddlers should be working toward BCU 3 Star Skills.
LFK's sea kayak rock garden classes are held April through September on third Saturdays. 1/2 day and full day custom classes and private lessons are available by appointment.
$110/person for 6 hour Sea Kayak Rock Gardening Class (3-6 people)
