Took my first kayaking class last night in a pool. We used little
Dagger White Water kayaks, not sea kayaks. Learned wet escapes,
various paddle strokes, terminology, some safety things, and how to
roll. I can imagine things would be more difficult in the sea with
waves, wind, cold, and no bottom to touch.......

BTW, I am sore. At 52, if I do something today I didn't do yesterday,
I'll be sore tomorrow. If you're not there yet, you will be.

Your first class? What will they cover in the 2nd class?

Second class is devoted to rolling and rolling practice.

How many classes do you get? I've been thinking that rolling might be
taught fairly quickly, but I was watching a young guy last night who
had a huge belly on him and as a result his CG was so high that he was
struggling quite a bit. I think typical students might need three or
four hours, but a special case like that guy... I don't know.
