It will be necessary a registration in all practice activities. In some of them the number of participants will be limited.
For sea activities the participants will have to be equipped with clothes accorded to the weather conditions and should be equipped with the appropriate material for the activity.
Most of the land activities will be open door and interactive activities inside the kayak city so that the number of participants will be only limited for the room capacity or the place capacity of the activity.
We will try that the explanations will be understandable for everybody and with active participation, if there is enough material for everybody the companions will be able to assist to this activities as listeners.
We will try to do a short summary of the explanations in the official languages.
The water activities of practicing have four different levels which we have numerated from 0 to 3.
When an activity has all this four different levels is that we think that depending on the people registered we would be able to make different groups.
Also having these four levels we reserve the right that if the weather conditions are complicated, only the maximum level (III) will be accepted.
Later we will inform about the speakers of each activity, the recommended material and the timetables.
Level 0
This are activities for all the participants, they are basically informative, visuals, interactive. The participation doesn't mean to be in the water if you don't want to.
