INSTRUCTION:

Jason, Mark and Boof showing playboating in poolJohn “NJ Boofer” will be teaching another advanced playboating seminar aimed more at those who have already attended one of his classes or have some play-boating experience. Limited enrollment. Sign up here

We have plenty of skilled instructors at all sessions who can help with getting you started and basic rolling. Just ask (or flounder and someone will probably offer to help).

EQUIPMENT:

Equipment is available to borrow including boats, paddles, skirts helmets and life jackets  but takes time to arrange so reach out well beforehand.
Details on borrowing equipment.

If you’re bringing a boat other than a whitewater kayak note that when you sign up. Don’t expect to paddle a larger boat around much but you should be able to practice rolls and re-entries.

Fragile boats are not recommended. Neither KCCNY nor the participants will be responsible for equipment damage. Getting a long or big boat in the pool is challenging. The largest boat we’ve gotten in are narrow, low volume 17 foot sea kayaks.
