Ottawa kayaking school's slogan is "Rapid Education Since 1982", and it's true. Wilderness Tours has some of the worlds best kayakers teaching the keeners program. Using these resources over the past week I have gone from trying to catch a wave to throwing my first shuvits, spins and roundhouses. The trick to maximizing how much you take away from each day is to ask question and put yourself is situations that make you uncomfortable. An example of this is beatdown thursday. This is one of the best days of the week, but also one of the scariest. It is important to push yourself like dropping into right side Phil's or surf Sattlers. Whatever you run, the more you challenge yourself, the more comfortable you will be running bigger stuff in the long run. With the Ottawa being so forgiving, there is no better spot to push your limits.
