GreenWave Paddling Memberships:

GreenWave wants to offers its paddling partners the most versatility in instruction, tours, gear usage, special events, and extras. Therefore, members will purchase hourly amounts of time in which they can use in any way they like. For example, if you purchase an eight-hour membership, then you could either take two four-hour classes, four two-hour skills sessions, or one four-hour class and two two-hour skills sessions. In essence, you can use your hours in any imaginable way that equal your purchased hourly amount. If you exhaust your original membership, then you can purchase another one at any time. You may also add on to the one you already have at any time during the season. Another perk is that your extra hours are transferable to the next season's events.
