Join us for a cold water clinic and learn how to be safe when the water temperature drops. We’ll discuss pre-trip planning, cold water gear to make trips safer and more comfortable, rescue techniques for re-boarding your kayak in deep water, the waters effects on the body, and strategies for post rescue re-warming.

We have an invaluable resource as your TKAA Vice President is e VMRC Officer Ron Cagle, whose career gives him unique experience and insight in the realm of boating/kayaking safety, and is a great speaker on this topic.

Also, it’s a great opportunity to come out and meet new members or socialize with ones you already know. This event will be hosted by the newest kayak retailer in the Hampton Roads area, Great Outdoor Provision Company. Come on out and we look forward to seeing you there!!
