Award-Winning Kayak School For AdultsPotomac Paddlesports is a locally-owned, award-winning kayak school specializing in structured lessons and trips uniquely tailored for beginner adults. Since 1999, Potomac Paddlesports has offered DC Metro area residents the opportunity to develop confidence, lasting friendships, and a sense of environmental stewardship - all through convenient, quality, and award-winning paddle sports and paddling safety instruction. We were the first and only kayak school to be fully sanctioned (and insured) by the American Canoe Association (ACA) and the first to have both ACA and British Canoe Union (BCU) institutional accreditations. Of all of our accolades, we are most proud of the American Canoe Association honoring us with an award for 'Making The World a Better Place to Paddle'. When you kayak with us, you get:
We commend your decision to start kayaking and we look forward to having you as a student or guest in our programs! Apparel and Gear For Students and GuestsFrom 2008-2019, Potomac Paddlesports operated 6,000 square feet of dedicated commercial retail space offering the best selection of paddling gear anywhere at our locations in Rockville and Potomac. Since then, we've closed these locations and shifted our focus back to our primary mission and passion - quality kayak instruction! Although our stores are closed, we still have over 30 years of experience selling kayaks and gear - and we know a lot about even really obscure stuff like small parts and old models, plus roof racks, drysuits, kayaks, paddles and much more. When you sign up for lessons, we'll help you source used gear at excellent prices, to help you make sure you always purchase the correct equipment, and the correct SIZE equipment, for safety and performance. Text 301-881-2628 if you are a student or guest with questions about clothing or gear. If you are looking at purchasing gear first, consider investing in our quality instructional programs first. For 1/3 the cost of a brand new kayak, you can use our equipment and become a very skilled paddler in 1-2 seasons, then buy even better gear! We look forward to paddling everyone soon - see you on the river! ![]() |
