Learn to Kayak Class

If you've wanted to take up kayaking but didn't know where to start, REI's Learn to Kayak Class is great. You'll learn the fundamentals like strokes and paddling from knowledgeable instructors. In addition, the class covers water safety and trip planning so that you'll be prepared on the water. Best of all, you will be able to practice on local waterways. REI provides all the needed kayaks and safety equipment for this half-day class. Be sure to book online in advance as classes fill up quickly.

How to Ride a Bike: One-on-One Instruction

Riding a bike is something that many people learn when they are younger. But if you weren't able to zip down the sidewalk growing up, REI offers a How to Ride a Bike class to teach you one-on-one. This class offers customized instruction to help make you feel comfortable and safe on a bicycle. Bicycles and helmets are available upon request when you register or you can bring your own.

Private Session: Pacific Coast Kayak Tour

This private event offers a more personal approach and experience to kayaking. The Pacific Coast Kayak Tour for you and up to three friends. You get the same awesome instruction as the regular Learn to Kayak Class but with individual attention and an awesome locale. You will see gorgeous coasts and cliffs and witness sea life and birds like pelicans firsthand. What's more, this four-mile coastal escape is perfect for people of all experience levels. REI provides the kayaks and safety equipment. Register online to secure a private session.
