Post Review - Lessons

If you have never been kayaking. Take a lesson, I was comfortable learning as I went without any lessons but wish I would have learned proper paddle usage first. 

Had to learn on the water and by the time I fugured it all out I had put a lot of  stress on my wrists and never really got better, had to battle through that the entire trip. 

I never did learn or attempt a self rescue, never had the need, wouldn't recommend that though, learn ahead of time.

Other than that I didn't find it overly challenging to pick up, pretty straight forward and skills progress quickly, kind of have to though.
