We’re Offering Two Discounted Workshops for SMSKN Members This Summer

We’ve worked with the Southern Maine Sea Kayak Network‘s skills committee to develop two 6-hour workshops for summer 2024. Our “Open Water Rescue Development” workshop is designed for paddlers who have learned basic rescues but need more practice and development before joining a more advanced course like our Roughtwater Rescue Workshop. And our “On-the-Water Sea Kayak Navigation for Beginners” workshop will provide an opportunity for those with little or no experience with navigation to learn the essential skills and apply them in real time during a paddling trip.

Each workshop is available to SMSKN members for $92, a 20% discount off our standard rates for a workshop of this length. (SMSKN subsidizes 10%, and Portland Paddle knocks another 10% off). Click the link below each description to register.

Both workshops will be taught by Suzanne Blackburn, a longtime SMSKN member who has taught several courses for members in the past.
