Wet Planet Kayak School Courses
   
   
At Wet Planet Kayaking we work to share our passion for white water kayaking with you. We offer some of the highest quality white water kayak instruction available in Washington and Oregon. All of our instructors are certified in whitewater kayak instruction by the American Canoe Association (ACA). We provide a low student to instructor ratio on all of our courses to ensure that each student receives the individual attention necessary for a successful course.
   
         
    All of our courses begin at our headquarters where guests are provided with all of the high quality equipment needed for their kayak instruction (included in the cost of all of our courses are kayak, paddle, spray skirt, helmet, Personal Flotation Device, wet-suits or dry tops to keep you warm, and booties for your feet). Our instructors then work with you throughout the course to insure that you get the most from your white water kayak instruction.

The goal for all of our kayak instruction is to teach paddlers to kayak safely and with good judgment. On all of our courses, we focus on river reading, self-rescue, and safe paddling techniques, in addition to technical paddling skills.
   
   

"Hey everyone at wetplanet, I wanted to say thanks for an awesome weekend of kayaking, especially to Andy and Heather for being awesome at what they do. They were both the best of teachers and kayakers. Sounds corny, but I mean it. Tara and I have been daydreaming about peel-outs and the waves at the end of Ishy Pishy since we got back home. Both of us are real motivated to get back out and practice some more. Thanks again! " Tara, Coeur D'alene, ID

"I've done two kayak courses at Wet Planet. The rescue course has already helped me make one effective rescue which I would have been a useless bystander if I hadn't taken the course. The second was a creeking skills course and it reinforced the guilty feeling I had after the rescue course - I get so much more than I pay for from Wet Planet, Andy, Todd, and the staff, that I feel like I would have gotten a bargain at twice the price." Scott, Hood River, OR
