In general this is aimed at helping beginner paddlers be safe and comfortable. We will cover basics of equipment, strokes and rescues.

I can't say if this would be helpful to you without knowing your goals. In general I personally find even for non beginners basics classes are a good way to practice and find that jewel of knowledge you didn't know enough to know you didn't know. 😁

For someone that's never had official training like this (but has paddled over 100 miles), what's the benefit of starting at Kayaking 101 over something at a higher level?

Hi All,
