Our Location
Our kayak facility is a short drive from Vancouver BC in beautiful Ladner BC. Head through downtown Ladner to Sharkey's Restaurant at 4953 Chisholm Street, Delta BC V4K 2K6 and look for Elliot Street Wharf and our little red kiosk overlooking the harbour.
What's in Your Library?
Every now and then we feature a book or magazine article that we think is a great addition to a paddler's library. This month it's Wild Coast 3 - a great book to have on hand when you make plans for your next expedition along the coast.

Rolling/Bracing Clinic
Learning an effective roll will improve your confidence on the water. (And it's fun too!) In this intro clinic you will learn low and high braces and the fine art of balancing or edging your boat for greater maneuverability and control. In the follow-up pool sessions you will be introduced to a progression of exercises that lead to rolling your boat.
