Meeting time and place to be announced.

This student paddle features paddling in and around the boat docks of Gig Harbor so we can practice some boat maneuvering skills.  Then we'll paddle to Sunrise Beach for lunch.  Afterwards, it's back to Gig Harbor to practice our kayak rescues (self-rescue and both sides of a t-rescue.)  Everyone that comes along will be practicing rescues.

Dry suit or wet suit required.
