We now have 4 single and 2 double kayaks from Wilderness Systems. They are super comfortable with their very adjustable phase3 seat system, and the doubles will allow you to bring your kids/grandmother/dog/and pet elephant all at the same time. Seriously though, we chose these boats because they are comfortable and nice to paddle. So if you are coming to visit Squamish or if you live here we can provide you with a guide and a comfy ride.

I love the skill sessions like rescue sessions and today’s flatwater playboating. I learned so much even it was quite crowded. To be honest I could not have done more practicing in 2 hours and was glad to have some waiting time between the tricks. Less people would have meant more personal time with Tyson which would have been better. But this was one of the best 10 bucks spent ever. If you need more personal practice time, go sign up for a course with Tyson at Coast River Kayak, it is worth it too.
