Rough Water Weekend - Sea Kayak Skills Comprehensive (Skill Level 4)

This is a 4 day skills immersion happening October 3-6, 2025

Similar to our 4 day Level 3 Skills Comprehensive but for paddlers with experience in some waves and wind, self and assisted rescues, who want to take it to the next level with a group of of folks who will encourage you and not hold you back!

• Introduction to surfing

• Rolling practice with specific application for rough water

• Rough water rescue practice

• towing in wind

• advanced topics in tides, navigation and expedition travel

• and more!

Open to all intermediate and advanced sea kayakers. 4 day gives us the time to travel to the best learning locations in and around the Apostle Islands. *Note that although we can't guarantee 'rough' water, we offer this course in October knowing that we will likely have a few options.

As a bonus, those interested and eligible can gain an American Canoe Association (ACA) Level 4 Skills Assessment, and we have space for one current level 4 Instructor to obtain their 4 year Instructor Update.

The weekend (Fri-Mon) includes all instruction and free camping or first-come-first-serve bunk bed in our heated bunkhouse at the Lost Creek Adventures shop location.

Must provide own equipment including a kayak with flotation, PFD, helmet, skirt, paddle, extra paddle, bilge pump and float. Some items can be rented through us, including helmet, at a reduced rate for the weekend.
