Private and Custom Instruction

Private and Custom Kayak Instruction

Learning on Your Own Terms

Private Instruction (PI) programs are designed just for you. Create a PI program just for yourself, or set up a day with your paddling buddies or family members. Our instructors will help you achieve your paddling goals.

Private Instruction is a great option:

  • If you can't find a scheduled program that fits your busy schedule.
  • If you have a special group of friends or a family, looking for a fully-custom program.
  • If you have kids who are younger than our minimum required age on other instruction courses.
  • If your group has mixed ages, skill levels or even types of boats.
