PADDLE SMART
Encompassing everything from paddleboards to canoes and kayaks, paddleboats make boating affordable and accessible for everyone. USPS 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 and “The Complete Sea Kayaker’s Handbook” by Shelly Johnson. Included as a bonus is “Introduction to Paddling – canoeing basics for lakes and rivers” by the American Canoe Association.
