If you are interested in kayaking in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and the surrounding Hampton Roads areas, we can help. We offer ACA sea kayak instruction, guided trips and have an online store for select sea kayaking products.

 

We teach all level of paddlers with personalized lessons and on-water coaching, specializing in intermediate to advanced skill development. Our guided trips let you paddle with dolphins, explore secluded waterways and experience paddling under a full moon.

 

We also carry a selection of NDK, Point 65N and Island kayaks, safety and paddling gear, and books from Pedal Press -- you can shop our online catalog, or give us a call if you're local.

 

We invite you to check out our inventory or consider a custom order NDK or Point 65N. Just give us a call (757-439-3179) and we'll be happy to set up a local demo paddle.


 

We recently spent four days filming with Bryan Smith, adventure filmmaker and creator of Pacific Horizons. Bryan is working on a new kayaking film, Eastern Horizons and we were thrilled to have Bryan paddle with us and focus on the great kayaking in Southeast Virginia. Read Bryan's blog entry, here.

We also have new gear on the way from Reed, including emergency hatch covers and short-sleeve aquatherm tops for summer.

Upcoming events:

  • May 20 -- Full Moon Night Paddle, $40, 8-10 p.m. (weather permitting)
  • May 18 -- Sea Kayak Surfing

 

ACA Basic Coastal Kayaking Instructor Certification Exam (ICE) -- We have one ICE remaining on the schedule for this spring -- May 24 & 25. For L1, L2 and L3 instructor candidates. Cost is $200. We plan to add additional IDW/ICE events in late summer or early fall. Contact us if you're interested.

 

Introduction to Expedition Kayaking/kayak camping -- We invite you to try kayak camping this June 14 & 15. Join us for a weekend of kayaking among the beautiful barrier islands off the Virginia coast, where you'll paddle with dolphins, paddle in the surf and learn about tides, currents, navigation and more.

 

It's a weekend getaway and so much more as you'll hone your paddling skills and learn new techniques and take the mystery out of kayak camping. Throughout the weekend we'll enjoy stunning scenery and plenty of time to work on the essentials any overnight kayaker should know. Only $135! Click here for details.
