Paddle and Safety Class: June 11 - New info, directions, etc

Post by Birdsnest »

TKF , Ocean Kayaks Pro Staff, and Artist Boats are proud to present Paddling Safety 101. The art of paddle and safety techniques for kayak fisherman.

This class will be taught by ACA certified instructors. This will be a basic ACA “Quick Start” class with some extra emphasis on safety and deep water recovery.

Class size will be strictly limited to 20 participants

All participants must fill out the attached waiver and bring said waiver to the class

DATE: Sunday June 11
TIME: 9 am to 3:30pm (Please arrive by 8:45, if you need to fill out your waiver)

Lead Instructor: Karla Klay from Artist Boats

Karla will have 3 of her own seasoned (ACA certified instructors) assistants. TKF's "Doug Poudre" will assist as well. I'll be there to heckle and harass all the participants and facilitate the event.

Location: Galveston, Texas – Texas A&M University at Galveston – Teichman Road Sail Team Facility

Directions: – Take I – 45 S to Galveston, exit at Teichman Road (first exit after you get off the causeway), right at stop sign, which is Teichman Road, follow road along and you will see a concrete wall on your left – look for chain link gates, enter through gates and take your immediate right, you will be able to see sail team boats and a small harbor with floating docks. There will be a small house on your left called Bennison Place. We will have class there and in the harbor.

Here's a general map of the area (ignore the street numbers I used to querry the map as they are not accurate for our location):

Fee: $20.00 per person
Class is FULL as of 6/09/06

All participants must bring their own kayak, paddle, pfd, lunch, towel, and change of clothes. TKF will provide drinks and snacks.

I have some great door prizes for the participants too!

Thanks ya’ll!

Thank you all. This is great! The date works for me.

Where do I send the check, or are y'all set up for credit cards? Whichever is okay with me.

Thanks again,

Ray

Keep me on the list please. As soon as the info comes out, my payment will be there. Is there going to be additional training other than sfaety in this class. Some things like paddling technique and other things newbies need to know would be nice. :D

Even though we've reached the class limit of 20, feel free to have us add you to the list. Some folks might drop out before June 11, plans may change, etc., or some may not get their fee paid by the deadline (don't panic - we haven't started paying fees yet and don't have a deadline date yet, either!)

So if you're interested in attending this class, post up here to get your name on the list.

I also would like to be added to the list of participants, if room allows. I'm a relative newbie, with some kayaking experience, but safety instruction will make me feel alot more at ease.[/b]
