I have my own GoPro or waterproof camera, can I take it on the lesson?

Anything you take in the water is at your own risk. We do not recommend it, but if you do decide to bring a camera with you, you will want to ensure that it can float and attach to you in some way that doesn’t interfere with the ability to paddle. A secure zipper pocket may work if you do not have another method.

During each lesson, we have a photographer in the water taking photo and video footage on a GoPro. This footage is available for purchase before or after your lesson.
