If you’re in town Sunday September 6th, why not bookend your summer with a beginner kayak lesson with Northwest River Guides, while trying out a kayak from Next Adventure! We’ve been teaching to packed classes Sundays all summer at Sellwood Park in Portland, Oregon! This opporunity gives you it all – the chance to try a kayak from Next Adventure for yourself, an introductory kayak lesson, and a guided tour of the Willamette River from Sellwood Park to Ross Island!
You’ll get all the instruction you need to begin exploring kayaking on your own. We’ll show you the cockpit, the terms, the seat, the foot pegs, and the adjustments. Then we’ll teach you proper paddling technique. And then, it’s off to the river to practice and even more tips. You’ll see the interesting floating homes, plus birds on Ross Island like blue herons, ospreys, kingfishers, and if you’re lucky a nesting pair of our national symbol, the bald eagle.
But you can’t just show up. You need to register at 503-722-1122, or stop by the Kayaks Department at Next Adventure, or use their online registration system.
