With spring in the air and ski season coming to a close what better way to embrace the warmer weather than to get back on the water for a nice calming paddle. Bowen Island Sea Kayaking (BISK) is offering a lineup of spring lessons for both kids and adults, an ideal opportunity for all levels of experience to learn more about kayaking. Whether you are training for the Round Bowen Challenge or just wanting to get started with the sport, BISK can help set you up for success.
Every Monday starting on April 28 and running through till June 16, lessons will be available for both kids and adults. Children ages 6 to 8yrs (Little Paddlers) will kayak from 3:00pm to 4:15pm and kids ages 9 to 13 yrs (Jr. Paddlers) will get on the water from 4:30 to 6:30pm. They will enjoy time on the water, learn safety techniques and the proper way to paddle while gaining confidence with their kayak.
Adults (16 yrs and up) can also join in with a nice evening paddle from 6:15 to 8:00pm. All lessons include kayak rental, PDF and safety equipment, all you need to bring is some water and a snack.
Just in time for Mother’s day, starting May 7th and running to June 25th every Wednesday morning BISK will offer lessons to women from 9:00 to 10:30am. A fantastic way to start the day and get fit before the summer beach scene strikes Bowen.
BISK can also help you celebrate your birthday or special occasion in style.
“We have lots of opportunities to have a party on the water,” says Brent O’Malley the new owner and operator of BISK. Parties last for an hour and a half and include all the essential equipment to kayak along with an experienced instructor.
Summer break is just around the corner and BISK will be offering four weeks of full and half day camps. Some kids reverse commute to participate in these camps so they tend to fill up fast. So, don’t wait too long to sign up.
