With skills to handle wind and waves, these become resources for momentum and sources of joy! Spend a day developing confidence and skills. We launch from a location south of town that provides excellent shelter next to an exposed point where the waves increase in a north wind. It’s an ideal learning environment!

This course is subject to weather and Loreto Port closure protocols.

Skill Level

Intermediate; frequent paddler. Challenging activity. 

Paddling in the wind takes energy! A good level of fitness, comparable to an all-day hike with hills, is strongly recommended. Beyond that, have skills to maneuver your kayak to a target and some idea of strategy for steering in wind. Be comfortable flipping over and exiting your kayak in deep water and conscious of holding onto it as you exit. Finally, have a technique that works for you to quickly re-enter your kayak while someone supports it.

Wind & Waves course refines technique and builds confidence from that foundation.

The location of the Surf Class may vary, and we may be able to meet at the class site. If possible before your course, please stop by our Expedition Base to say howdy.

Our Expedition Base is located near the center of Loreto, on Nicolas Bravo 2 doors south of the tall concrete auditorium. It is staffed at designated meeting times and during store hours.

Directions

Go to the waterfront, and turn south on the Malecon (the waterfront road/walkway). At the end of the road and walkway, turn inland (right) one block, then turn left. Pass the tall concrete building on the right, and one house. Our name is painted on the outside wall. We will be prepared to meet you at the pre-arranged meeting time, or during store hours.
