ACA Quick Start Clinic is an introduction to paddling a kayak. Students are presented with basic information on equipment, carrying, launching, landing, dressing to paddle safely, potential hazards and simple rescues. Basic strokes covered; forward, reverse, stopping, turning and wet exit. A perfect course to enhance the enjoyment and safety of the entry level paddler. An ACA participation card is given to students.

Rescue Clinics could also be called recovery clinics. In this class students learn what to do in the event of a capsize. Different assisted and unassisted techniques along with a simple contact tow are taught so you can help yourself or someone else back into the kayak. This is a fun, wet class.

Bracing & Rolling. To roll you need a good brace. We will fine tune your braces and then work on developing a bombproof roll! Being able to roll builds on fundamental support skills that often make rolling non-essential, giving us great confidence. Topics covered: draw strokes, low-brace, high-brace, development of hip-snap, rolling the kayak. These are skills every kayaker wants.


KFAC Clinic This 4 hour course is a combination stroke and rescue course open to everyone but designed for participants of the Kayaks For A Cause paddle across Long Island Sound. (Fee for this 4 hour clinic is $100)
