We arranged for a 3 hour lesson to refresh our kayak skills. Frederico was the instructor and it was an excellent lesson! Paddling, edging, self rescue and even a very helpful tip for loading/unloading with our particular car rack. Thanks so much to Frederico and the Ocean River team!

My daughter and I had a gorgeous day of paddling on the Gorge and Inner Harbour yesterday. Lee was very helpful and professional getting us launched.
