Sweetwater Kayaks on Tierra Verde.

Sweetwater consistently gets high marks from many of the people that I know
that visit the Tampa area. I was there in Feb and was impressed with their
operation. Located near Fort DeSoto. They are a BCU Premier Center, one of
maybe six in the country. Nigel Foster owns part interest in this shop.
http://www.sweetwaterkayaks.com/  You can reach them at(727)906-0708. I have
no connection to them other than as a satisfied customer.

I have a friend down in Tampa who is interested in getting some
recommendations for kayaking lessons in the region.

He's done some kayaking in protected waters on a SOT, but he realizes that
he will need to develop bracing, rolling and rescue skills before he gets
into anything more serious.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good kayak schools in the area?

I will assume that if you reply to this message with a recommendation that
you are by default giving me permission to pass this to someone that is not
a part of this list.
