I went out paddling with Kalidurga and Regina once, then I took a lesson at REI's Outdoor School. It was an all-day class held somewhere northeast of Baltimore (the only one available at the time was out of the Timonium, MD store, but they have them in Virginia also). I was happy with it. Next spring I'll have to take the class that teaches you all the safety stuff.
