Rolling a kayak just isn’t intuitive. An inconsistent roll is nothing to be embarrassed ab out. It’s something to be worked out. If you’ve got a roll that sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t, a pool kayak lesson in Portland, Oregon with NRG can set you straight! We teach kayak rolling classes in Portland, OR in the warm, clear and calm water of a pool so you can concentrate on the fundamental steps necessary to perfect your skills.

We teach beginner kayak lessons in Portland, OR. These ninety-minute pool kayak classes start out in the pool where we work on the basic maneuvers (strokes) of whitewater kayaking – sweeps, corrections and braces.   We also work on some skills that involve getting wet – the wet exit and eskimo roll – which is why pools are so great for learning to kayak.  These classes take place Mon-Wed evening from 8-9:30pm.

Class location:  USA Athletics, NE Portland. 8333 NE Russell Street.

Time: Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays 8:00 – 9:30 p.m.
