Learn How to Kayak

Interested in learning how to enjoy the maximum potential of that new whitewater, sea, or recreational kayak? Learn kayaking skills and safety from the professional instructors of eNRG Kayaking. Next Adventure has partnered with eNRG to offer kayaking classes of all levels of paddlers. Classes are available in the pool to work on rolling, on flatwater to hone your skills, and whitewater to give you a thrill! Lessons and trips are taught on the Willamette, Clackamas, Sandy, Columbia, Santiam, and more. eNRG's instructors are certified by the ACA, all with years of kayak instruction experience and accompanying medical training.

Contact eNRG at 503.772.1122 or info@enrgkayaking.com or stop by the shop. We'll help you decide which class is ideal for you and get you all signed up and good to go!

If you don't have a kayak and equipment, no worries- eNRG will supply all that you need for any class or trip you take. This is a great opportunity to try out gear before you buy, as eNRG uses the same great gear that is for sale here at Next. And with some basics down, you can demo from us at no charge for a day or two while you narrow down the perfect boat for you.
