Traditional Kayaking Course Information
    The ACA Traditional Kayaking course imparts knowledge about the history of
    kayaking and the relevance of that history to modern disciplines in the sport, and
    emphasizes effective boat control with a narrow-bladed paddle.  Novice through
    expert paddlers will learn about different historical traditions in kayaking, and
    methods for travel, turning and bracing, and rolling in a variety of conditions.  
    Participants will develop balance and confidence in techniques that can reduce
    fatigue and improve performance in sea kayaking and other paddle-sport disciplines.

What to Bring
    Bring your own qajaq paddle, kayak, spray skirt, and PFD, or let us know if you need
    equipment.  Although most sea kayaks respond successfully to traditional techniques,
    some perform better than others do, such as those that are narrow (23” or less), low-
    volume, with a low stern deck.  I recommend the following kayaks for this class.  A secure-
    fitting spray skirt is important.  Some traditional paddles will be available.  Dress
    comfortably and bring layers appropriate to the day's weather.  For rolling practice in
    cooler weather I recommend using a wet suit or dry suit (or dry top).  Participants should
    bring a picnic lunch.  Other handy items include a water bottle, sun block, a strap for
    glasses, and nose clips (though we have a few extras to loan).
