Kayak Safety Orientation for Members
Nyack Boat Club offers all members access to club-owned kayaks (Kayaks). To use Kayaks, a member must complete a Kayak Safety Orientation. Once Kayak Approved, members may reserve a Kayak by logging into their club account to Book Online (navigation bar on the home page) -- we mark your account as approved to gain access to the Kayak booking feature.
Here are the steps to complete the Kayak Safety Orientation and become certified:
- Read and understand the Kayak Use Terms & Conditions; about 5 minutes.
- View the Kayak Safety Orientation videos listed below (about 40 minutes at normal speed, but you can playback at a higher speed (1.25) to save time). You must watch the videos to find out the location of the Kayaks, the Kayak equipment locker, and recommendations on moving and launching the Kayaks, in addition to a review of the rules and recommendations for Kayak us.
Overview of Program and Rules (Kayak Intro); about 20 minutes.
The Boats: Handling on Land (Kayak Boats); about 20 minutes.
- Successfully complete the Kayak Safety Orientation Assessment; about 5 to 15 minutes.
When you've successfully completed the Assessment, please email us at the address below to let us know you're ready to be Kayak Approved.
