SUMMARY:Basic Skills Class with Kayak Jeff!
DESCRIPTION:South Florida Kayaking Meetup\n\nBASIC SKILLS CLASS - BACK AGAI
 N!!\n\n***Please read the section below about REGISTRATION***\n\nWHY YOU SH
 OULD TAKE THIS CLASS.\nWe've been a pretty fun group so far\, with a lot of
  short trips and socializing.  There have been really great events\, as wel
 l as a few where some of the folks involved should have been better prepare
 d for the conditions and distances involved.  In the future we will be addi
 ng longer trips in more open-water conditions\, as well as some overnight a
 nd multi-day trips.\n\nThe prerequisite to moving forward with this is\, of
  course\, training!\n\nWe are lucky enough to have a BCU-certified trainer 
 who is passionate about kayaking\, is a great teacher\, and is willing to a
 rrange group training sessions for us!\n\nCOURSE OVERVIEW:\nThis Basic Skil
 ls course is intended to make our current "Beginner SK2" trips more of a pl
 easure and less work for you\, to teach basic paddle strokes\, to review ba
 sic rescue techniques\, and to overall make you a better and safer kayaker.
   There will be no certification offered at this level\, but the knowledge 
 and techniques taught will cover quite a bit of the BCU 1-Star and some of 
 BCU 2-Star certification.  This course will be approximately four hours wit
 h instruction both on land and in the water.\n\nREGISTRATION:\nIf you plan 
 to take this course you MUST REGISTER WITH KAYAK JEFF.  Payment and registr
 ation should be made directly to KayakJeff either over the phone (954.926.5
 766) or in person at the store.  RSVPs are used ONLY as a convenient way to
  know who's registered and to give participants a way to comment after the 
 class.\n\nCOSTS: \n$55 if you rent a boat to learn in - Includes kayak\, pa
 ddle and PFD.  If you currently paddle a SOT\, let me suggest this option -
  you'll learn more!\n\n$35 if you bring your own boat - If you have a sit o
 n top kayak it must be in good condition with no frayed lines and proper fi
 tting hatches. If you have a sit inside boat it must have positive buoyancy
  with either bulkheads or secured float bags at either end. No frayed lines
  etc. In either case all boats are subject to inspection and acceptance by 
 the teacher.\n\nThis is a special price for Meetup Group Members only!\nCla
 ss size is limited to 6 students.\n\nWHAT TO BRING: \nEvery one must wear a
  proper fitting PFD. You should also consider sunscreen\, hat\, clothing su
 itable for a swim (preferably no cotton)\, you must have foot wear that wil
 l stay on in the water. \n\nLOCATION:\nMeet at 8:00AM (please be prompt or 
 early) at the KayakJeff shop\, 354 E. Dania Beach Boulevard.  Training will
  take place at West Lake Park\, a short drive away.\n\nFUTURE TRAINING:\nTh
 is course will be taught every month as demand requires.  Those who are int
 erested in going further with kayaking will have the opportunity to schedul
 e BCU 2-Star and 3-Star training in small groups.  Most of the longer trips
  we will undertake will require that you be at least a 2-Star\, with the in
 tent of making sure that everyone on the trip has the minimum level of comp
 etence and knowledge required to keep themselves from getting into trouble 
 and the skills required to give aid if required.\n\nDania\, FL  33004 - USA
