Ocean Kayaking Lessons Ecomarine Coastal Kayak School has been safely putting paddlers on the water for the past 28 years. We offer a wide range of beginner courses so you can learn at a pace that suits you. Once you have built a solid foundation it is time to move on to our intermediate and advanced programs. Here you will be taught how to safely paddle in more remote and challenging regions. We not only teach you how to paddle, but also provide opportunities to use what you have learned. Ecomarine offers paddling clubs, season's passes, clinics, seminars and much more. We can help you go kayaking whenever and wherever you wish. Winter Lessons in the Pool During the fall, winter and spring months Ecomarine offers our Recreational Kayaking (rec 1-4) and Rolling Courses in the pool at the Vancouver Aquatic Center.

Recreational Two - wet exits and assisted recoveries. Recreational Three - capsize recovery skills for solo paddlers Recreational Four - edging, bracing and boat handling skills.
