L3 ICW July 17 - July 21

  L3 ICW and Update July 17 - July 21, 2023

Breezy Point, and Jamaica Bay, Brooklyn

Sadly, the course below is canceled.  I am unable to return home to the US this summer because are son born abroad can't get a passport in time.

The L3 coastal kayak instructor certification workshop (ICW) will take place in Jamaica Bay, off Breezy Point, and depending on the weather and student needs, Lake Sebago. The focus of the ICW will revolve around four central goals.

• Train and certify instructor candidates at their paddling levels, up to L3.
• Help instructor candidates to develop a solid individual kayaking pedagogy.
• Sharpen and develop candidates personal paddling and group management skills in L3 conditions.
• Have fun, make friends, network, and sing kumbaya. 

If you are an L3 assessed paddler and ready to start teaching others, then this course is for you. If you are an L2 instructor ready to up your game, or an avid sea kayaker and you think you have what it takes, reach out to me and we’ll talk. If you have a solid roll, chances are you’re ready, and we’ll get you through the pre course criteria.

I am an experienced teacher with over 4,500 expedition nautical miles under my belt. Everything that can go wrong, has happened to me, and I have a track record of making sure it doesn't happen to my students.

The price of the 5 day course is $700 for instructor candidates and $400 for practice students. Spaces are limited and available on a first come first serve basis. Spaces can be reserved with a non refundable deposit of $100. All final payments must be made before the course starts.

The option also exists to take this course as an instructor update, an ICE, or an IDW, so please reach out if interested.

Can’t wait to see you on the water!
