August 2026: Kayaking I class with Sue Rogers (4 hours). Sue is a fantastic teacher and very knowledgeable, as well as relaxed, patient and kind. The class was small and at a lake so the water was not too cold. She taught us how to exit from a flipped kayak and then get back in (a good thing to practice). We did both a self rescue and an assist rescue. Sue also taught us paddle skills and shared a lot of her knowledge about the process of learning to kayak well and about equipment and types of kayaks. Can't say enough - the class was fun and left me feeling excited about getting good at these skills.
