6.3 Demonstrate entry and exit of confined spaces (rockhopping)

Exploring rocky coastlines with gullies, passages, caves and arches is one of the great pleasure of sea kayaking - we often refer to this as ‘rockhopping’. Getting a long boat among rocks, along passages and back out again challenges boat handling skills. Rockhopping is a great a way to assess how your skills have developed.
