Early Season Kayak Rescues

Cost - $80 Register/pay/more info via the Silent Wake page

In partnership with the Pike Lake State Park, join us – as we provide our Kayak Rescue session.

This is intended for people who wish to experience rescues in cooler waters. Participants MUST wear either a full wetsuit or drysuit for this class – NO EXCEPTIONS. The water temp will be below 60 degrees – you will experience multiple wet exits and may spend 3-5 minutes in the water during each rescue attempt. If needing a wetsuit – seek out a local Scuba Dive shop which will rent out 3 to 4 mm thickness suits (don’t rent anything thicker).

The Kayak Rescue session is designed for the more seasoned paddler. Kayak rescues are an exciting way to go outside your comfort level and understand a valuable survival tool. With the element of additional layers (wetsuit or drysuit) this adds an additional aspects to paddling – working/understanding your survival gear. Understand why these not only extend your paddle season – but increases your survivability, should you fall into cold/cooler water.

This is a 4 hour session intended for those who wish to understand how to get yourself or others back into the kayak, while on the water. Prerequisite for this class is basic knowledge about your kayak (or previous student of either the Kickstart or the Essentials classes), and a wet-exit ability.
