Skills Workshops

The following workshops and assessments in the Sea of Cortez were originally geared towards Mexican kayak guides, but everyone of appropriate skill level is welcome. It's an inspiring cultural experience. Communication will be bilingual as necessary, and set in that pinnacle of paddling venues, the Sea of Cortez. Courses will run usually 9am to 5pm, with some evening gatherings. Lodging or camping, transportation and food are not included, but we'd be happy to help you with arrangements.
