Our pals at the Lake Lanier Association (LLA) are offering a free Kayaking 101 course to the first 25 people who respond.  Most of us need Lesson #1: How to get into a kayak without drowning.
These free lessons will be taught by an ACA Certified Instructor at Mary Alice Park in Cumming on Tuesday, June 7, 2016 from 6:00 until 8:00 PM.
Participants must be at least 15 years old to join.  Advance reservations are required.  You snooze, you lose and you float downstream in your kayak upside-down.
With the increased popularity of paddle sports, many people are purchasing and enjoying kayaks, canoes and paddleboards on Lake Lanier. Â Paddle sports are easy and allow just about anyone to enjoy boating on the lake. Â Sharing lake space with large, powered vessels has risks. Â There is a correct, safe way to do paddle sports and have fun on Lake Lanier.
If you are in the market for a kayak and want some advice, you are welcome to join.  They’ll have a few boats on hand.  If LLA gets many requests for canoe and paddle board classes, they might be added at a later date.
