Winter Webinar 1: Risk Management

Every time we launch onto the water, we’re making decisions that affect not just our safety — but the quality of our experience. 🌊

Join Jeff Arbing and Jarrod Gunn McQuillan for a powerful, real-world webinar on how risk actually works in sea kayaking — from the subtle choices that can quietly stack the deck against us, to what really matters when things go pear-shaped.

You’ll learn:
• How to manage risk factors
• What to do when things go pear-shaped.
• What you can control — and what you can’t
• How to best mitigate the inherent risks of outdoor adventure
• How better decision-making leads to safer, more confident adventures

This isn’t just theory. These are the dynamics that play out every time we leave shore.

This is Webinar #1 in a four-part series presented by Ontario Sea Kayak Centre and Cloud 9 Adventures — and yes, it’s 100% FREE.

If you paddle, guide, lead, or love being on the water… this one is for you.

January 28th - 7pm EST
