Paddle Smart

Encompassing everything from paddleboards to canoes and kayaks, paddleboats make boating affordable and accessible for everyone. America’s Boating Club training helps you do it safely. Based on a compendium of information from the paddling community, this seminar prepares you to boat safely on small lakes, streams, and rivers. The seminar kit includes an attendee workbook for note-taking and reference. “The Complete Sea Kayaker’s Handbook” by Shelly Johnson and “Introduction to Paddling – canoeing basics for lakes and rivers” by the American Canoe Association are optionally available.
