A bit of advice for doing a kayak instructor course please (more details)?

I've to do a 5-10 minute presentation for my kayak instrucotr course. For me the topic is "The Boat".

We'll be using creakers so would any paddlers out there be really nice and help me make an outline for my presentation.

I have to talk about the boats parts, its design and i have to demonstrate proper entry and exit to the boat.

the presentation has to be done as though it were to a group of inexperienced kayakers.

GOD DAMN IT this course is going to consume my weekend, i really wanted to hit gower

any help apprciated :)

    Trouble! You may need to do some research. Are you sure you are ready to take an instructor course? Best advice...break down each operation into individual parts. Use a board of some sort to illustrate what you are talking about. Demonstrate yourself. Emphasis important points. Example: Explain that your kayak is pointed upstream. Use your paddle to bridge your entrance. Slowly fasten your spray skirt while securing your paddle. Check everything...show your students how to lean as you 'peel out'.

    Boats...read some material...
