If you are used to paddling with a single blade this will be very easy and if you have no experience you will find learning with the longpaddle very natural, especially if you have kayaked. Meet me at the Gorge, I'll bring all the equipment and spend a half hour with you making sure you are safe and have a good technique and then you are on your own for up to 3 hours to have fun with your new fitness activity. Strong swimming ability and life jacket use are necessary.
