Our goal is to help you discover the joy and freedom of paddling and to provide you with the instruction you need to become the paddler you want to be. Our teaching style is interactive and action-oriented. Our curriculum is nationally recognized for teaching kayaking safely and effectively, at all levels. Our instructors are the best in the business. We accept no less. We provide a dynamic learning environment for our students and a flexible curriculum, keeping our program creative, original and current.

We love to work with our customers to identify what their needs are, not only for today, but as they grow with the sport. Our commitment extends to the community and the environment as well. We actively support Friends of the River, the Tuolumne River Trust, American Whitewater, Save San Francisco Bay and others in their efforts to preserve wild rivers, clean oceans and pristine coastlines. Our special events enhance paddlesports, build community, and raise money to support local kids and non-profit organizations. This commitment is just one of the reasons we were voted 'Retailer of the Year' by Canoe & Kayak Magazine in 2000. Come experience the adventure that's waiting for you in your own backyard!
