Class Information

Kayak classes at Big D's Kayaking are taught by trained and certified (American Canoe Association and British Canoe Union) coaches. Many classes are taught at Snug Harbor, centrally located in the Tampa Bay area. Others are taught at various venues including Ft DeSoto.

Our classes are kept small to ensure quality and safety. Most classes have one coach for every four students. And, no class size is too small.  If Big D schedules it, it will happen, unless dangerous weather is forecasted.  So call today so you can become a better paddler.
