Wednesday Evening Flat Water Kayak Coaching


Flat Water Kayak Coaching ** Not offered at this time**

WHAT: Every Wednesday evening from 6:30pm - 8:00pm, June - August we offer a free hour of flatwater kayaking followed by a pot-luck. Come paddle after work with Kayak Academy and friends on Lake Sammamish. A 20 minute Skill Session starts at 6:30 or take a 3-mile fitness paddling trip. River kayakers and Greenland paddlers come practice rolling. It's all good and a great way to stay in shape and meet paddlers for your weekend adventures. Occasionally we have special guests paddle with us; past guests have included Dubside, Freya Hoffmeister, Jamie Sharp, and many other renowned kayakers.

WHERE: Lake Sammamish State Park, Tibbetts Beach.

COST: Free for all Kayak Academy alumni, Mountaineers kayakers, WKC, SSKC, Seattle Meet-up Kayakers, and WWTA members. 

Bring your own kayak and wet suit or dry suit. We recommended using a kayak cart for transporting your kayak from the parking lot to the lake. K.A. provides free refreshments and the main dish afterward, please bring a salad, side dish, or appetizer to share.

Beginners need prior safety training - this isn't a guided tour or lesson.

Please click to sign-up -- it's free but we need to know how many are coming.
