This course can stand alone or act as the third and final step toward the Paddle Canada Introduction to Sea Kayaking certification ( IK 1, IK 2, IK 3 ).

Emphasis continues to be placed on developing an efficient forward stroke, more maneuvering strokes and an introduction to edging and bracing. By the end of this session you will be ready to undertake an outing in sheltered waters and calm conditions with a paddling partner who has been trained in the techniques of assisted rescues.
