Kayak Instruction, Inc. & Kayak Crossing Outpost offers kayak rentals, classes, and events on Lake Ray Hubbard in Rowlett, Texas, founded by Dave Holl, who began planning the school in 2000 while kayaking the Grand Canyon with fourteen other river enthusiasts. The idea from that trip grew into a mission to bring the highest level of kayak instruction available in the country to Texas.
The Fleet features an extensive lineup from Jackson Kayak, giving students exposure to many different styles and models — a genuine help in figuring out which niche of the sport most interests them and, eventually, which boat best fits their needs. No equipment? No problem — Kayak Crossing Outpost carries a wide array of rental gear to get guests set up and out on the water.
Instruction is the company’s core focus, with staff trained to help beginners and occasional paddlers learn proper, safe kayaking techniques. Instructors participate in and are certified through the American Canoe Association, USACK, World Kayak, and American Red Cross — the nationally recognized paddle sports training organizations in the U.S. — keeping the school current on trends and the best teaching methods in the sport. Safety comes first, but the company is also, as they put it, “certified in fun.”
Kayak Crossing Outpost also hosts regular Events on Lake Ray Hubbard, giving paddlers a chance to explore nature as a group.
For beginners, occasional paddlers, and anyone near Rowlett, Texas looking for genuine kayak instruction, rentals, or group events on Lake Ray Hubbard, Kayak Instruction, Inc. & Kayak Crossing Outpost offers a well-established, safety-first operation founded by Dave Holl.
