Open Boating
Open boating is a time to practice your roll, refine your paddling technique, meet other kayakers, or simply learn more about kayaking.
Formal kayak lessons are not offered at this time. However, if you just want to try it out kayaking for the first time, basic instruction will be offered to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience.
Pool rental - $8; This fee applies to everyone who paddles.
Boat & Gear - $5; This fee applies only if you request a boat and gear. Please note your height & weight in your RSVP, so I know what size boat to bring.
Kayak Demo - $15; This fee applies if you request a specific boat. Please note the boat you want to demo in your RSVP.
Private Lessons - $75; 2-hr Private "Intro to Kayak" or "Kayak Roll" Lessons are available with advanced notice. Pool and gear rental fees are waived for private lessons. Private lessons may include up to 2 individuals covering the same content.
Why RSVPs are so important....
The pools are
expensive to rent, and this time New Mexico Kayak Instruction covers the
pool rental as a community service to local paddlers. RSVPs are needed
to ensure we have a minimum number of people to cover the pool rental
fees, and to limit enrollment so that the pool does not become
over-crowded. Also, by RSVP'ing, we are able to communicate via email
about last-minute changes, which often include cancellation due to
lightening, or other pool closures.
- If you RSVP for yourself and/or a guest (ie - you reserve a spot), and no-show, you will receive a Pay-Pal request for the pool rental fee ($8); this balance must be paid in full before your RSVP will be accepted for the next pool party
- If you request a boat and/or any gear, and cancel after the gear has been loaded (typically 3hrs in advance), you will receive a Pay-Pal request for the gear ($5); this balance must be paid in full before your RSVP will be accepted for the next pool party
- If you show up and have not RSVP'd, (ie -you have not reserved a spot), you may be asked to return another time if the maximum number of paddlers has been reached (typically 30) at Los Altos Pool. If there is additional space, or someone has no-showed, you'll be admitted after 8:15.
Please RSVP, and keep it current.
Before i took Kelly's class, I was convinced that a sit-inside kayak was a FLOATING COFFIN (don't mean to be so morbid). But now with what I learned in the Intro to Kayak class I feel CONFIDENT in a sit-inside kayak and my opinion has DRAMATICALY CHANGED. Looking forward to more days on the water. Thanks Kelly.
I want you to know how much I benefitted from your white water and roll classes. Kelly your presentations Saturday and Sunday were always clear and packed with vital information. The way you sketch out the hazzards and river features makes them surprisingly easy to remember on the river. On the river you worked hard with each of us and I thought we class members got far more feedback and individual attention than in other kayak classes I have taken. Glenn and Michael also seemed genuinely interested in our progress and were always willing to answer my questions and provide good feedback. All in all the class was both challenging and a lot of fun and I feel it greatly accelerated my development as a white water kayaker.
