The concept of "Custom" Classes in winter
is for beginning or advanced paddlers to schedule a date for
training, then let that day's "sea conditions" dictate the venue.
If the surf is good, we'll go long- or short-boat surfing; if it's
stormy, we'll go play in the wind and big seas; when the big
winter ebbs are flowing on SF Bay, we'll go find some tide rips to
surf! |

Reservation Information |
Reservations
are required for all classes and trips, and space is limited.
To reserve your space, please contact us to confirm that there is still room
in the class.
info@EskapeKayak.com
or (831) 566-5385
You can then confirm your spot by paying by
credit card or by check.
Please Note: Until payment is
received your space is not confirmed and your spot could be lost to others.
To Pay by Credit Card
Click icon below and follow easy steps to make a secure,
online payment:

To Pay by Check:
A phone call holds your spot for 4 days, giving you time to mail a
check, payable to ESK.
ESKAPE Sea Kayaking, 740
30th Ave. #117, Santa Cruz, CA 95062
If paying by check, please send a separate check for each class that
you'd like to attend (one check is ok if taking two classes on the same
weekend or paying for yourself and others in your group), and be sure to write the date and type of class in
the memo.
To receive your confirmation letter with
directions to class: Please email us to let us know you have put your
check in the mail, and we will email your confirmation information.
Note: Since our class size is small and space is limited, if we do
not receive a check within four days, you may be moved to the waiting
list and your spot given to the next in line. Please let us know if you
have changed your mind about sending a check after you have signed
up for a class by phone, so we can offer your space to someone
else. No refunds (or rescheduling) within 14 days of classes and 30-60 days
of overnight trips (see cancellation policy below). Like a concert, "at
the door" payments brought to class will cost $10/day more than those
"prepaid" ahead of time by check or credit card.

|
|
Cancellations & Refunds |
Space is limited, so in order for us to maintain our small class size
and high quality, payment is considered non-refundable within 14 days of
day trips and up to 60 days for overnighters. No exceptions please.
Within this period we may give partial credit toward rescheduling
only if we can fill your spot off the waiting list. If you need
to change dates after signing up for a class, and we can fill your spot
off the wait list, please note: a $20
reschedule fee may apply. Full refunds or credit is given only for
cancellations due to weather; however, such cancellations are rare and
typically don't happen until the morning of the trip. Thanks for your
understanding.

Training Opportunity:
Eskape seeks intermediate-level paddler(s) (ACA Open Water or BCU 3
star or equivalent) to assist on the water during a month-long
Introduction to Sea Kayaking and Marine Ecology course. Refine your
own skills while gaining valuable experience and training in
teaching others to kayak. This is an excellent opportunity for
anyone interested in learning to teach others to kayak, especially
someone who has already taken an ACA Instructor Development Workshop
and is looking for hands-on practice.
