Introduction to Kayaking is the palace to start your new adventure. We teach the basics of boats and gear then head onto the water for Kayak strokes.

Rescue Lesson

Our rescue class takes place in the comfort of the Courtenay & District Memorial Outdoor pool. In this lesson we learn how to fall out of our boat and help each other get back in. The skills taught are wet exits and tandem rescues, and if there's time we play with types of solo rescues.

Edging & Bracing
$85
This is the final step in our series of Introductory lessons. During edging and bracing we explore all the strokes taught in Intro to Kayaking and add the element of doing them while edging our kayaks to increase manoeuvrability. We end with a lecture on weather
and sea state that is required when planning short excursions.
SUP Lesson
$85
Wanting to take on a new adventure that gets you on the water with minimal gear? Our Intro to SUP lesson will teach you about the sport of Stand Up Paddleboarding. Learn strokes, techniques to improve your balance and how to get back in the saddle after a capsize. This lesson is taught right from our location at Comox Valley Kayaks, we utilize the safety of the Courtenay Marina to build our confidence before heading out into the river.
Custom Lesson
$65 to $155
Custom lessons are a great option if you have specific goals in mind. We have instructors that will build a plan with you before heading out on the water and we offer this in one hour increments. Most lessons will require two hours or more but if you are interested in learning or building on your kayak roll one hour is plenty of time.
