Kayakers often over rate the wind speed and wave size that they have paddled in, but in the Columbia River Gorge you can expect honest wind speeds of 15- 30 knots and wind waves up to six feet. You'll be put through the paces of turning circles, doing rolls and rescues, towing kayaks, advanced surfing, and paddling at all angles to the wind. Regardless of your strength, it takes technique to do these skills in severe conditions, and if you've had his other lessons, you know that no-one is better at teaching technique than George Gronseth. Paddling the Gorge with George is rite of passage that no sea kayaker should miss. The prerequisites are too numerous to list, and although exceptions are sometimes made we recommend taking all of our other advanced courses first.
