Skills e-Assessment

For people with paddling experience who would like to join us for the first time.

Anyone visiting for the first time who is looking to join our Intermediate-Elite trips or to skip a Basics class needs to have solid experience in sea kayaking or paddle boarding. We use this e-assessment to understand your experience.

Because NYC waters are complex, no outfitters can rent out boats without supervision. That’s why we offer guided trips at several skill levels. There’s no need to fill out this form to join beginner activities.
