Recreational Kayaking - Kayaking Skills for Protected Waters Explore Newport Harbor as you learn the basic skills of recreational paddling. If you would like a fun and easy initiation to kayaking, this class will introduce you to the handling skills needed for paddling on protected waters (small harbors, bays and lakes). Taught in recreation, sea touring and sit-on-top kayaks, this class is intended for those who are not looking to undertake the challenges of open waters. This is a dry, "stay in your boat" class.
