Start Time: 
Thursday, June 3, 2010 - 5:30pm - 8:30pm

On June 3rd, Kelly Gossett of New Mexico Kayak Instruction (founder of the Santa Fe Kayak meetup) will teach a 3hr Intro to Kayak lesson for Santa Fe Singles at the Chavez Center's indoor pool. We'll learn the basic strokes that will allow us to safely paddle lakes and easy rivers later on as a group. Kelly will also show us simple 2-person rescues and other team-building skills that are great with a partner, so bring a date, or find one at the event.

An afternoon kayaking is the perfect first date for any adventurous soul.  You can easily pack lunch and a bottle of wine or champagne into your kayak, and paddle across the lake to a remote campsite or secluded beach and enjoy a picnic that you couldn't have reached by road or trail.  A gentle paddle through the Rio Grande Bosque with lunch or dinner at the riverside Coronado Grill is a unique experience neither of you will soon forget. Or, plan an overnight trip to the seemingly remote areas of Abiquiu, Santa Cruz or Navajo Lake with the confidence and security that you'll both have a wonderful time without mishaps, and look forward to the next kayaking adventure together.

Class size is limited to 10 people, so contact Kelly as soon as you register. Your spot is not reserved until Kelly has received your deposit. Cash, check or credit card is accepted.

Kelly is a terrific instructor!  He's extremely patient, manages to maintain a sense of humor, is very safety-conscious (a good thing on the river!), and has some unique tricks to help his students, be it learning to roll or learning to read a river.  He explains things clearly and simply.  He also seems to have the ability to get inside the heads of his students to help them get to where they need to be.

You guys rock!!!  I couldn't wait another minute to tell you how much fun the girls had last night!  What a great lesson!  We didn't even need the games because they enjoyed what they were doing so much.  One of the coolest things was seeing girls who were a little bit timid, feel comfortable enough to try things that they normally wouldn't have tried.  What a great time!  Well done all!
