SKILLS E-ASSESSMENT

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

WHY DO YOU NEED A SKILLS ASSESSMENT?

Anyone visiting us 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 skill level.

Because NYC waters are complicated to navigate, no outfitters rent boats without a guide. That’s why we offer guided trips at several skill levels.

There’s no need to fill out this form to join Beginner activities.
