A beginner should not be a problem in an invitation that welcomes beginners. I need to choose a pace that makes that true. One thing I should say upfront: I need plans with a clear start and finish.

On “Find a workable first step for canoe lessons”, I would choose the format around the actual question. A video is not automatically clearer, and I would want the essential information available in words too.

I would join the conversation again when the practical details are clearer. No promises beyond that yet. I would also like to practise paddling basics in an instructor-led session.

On “Find a workable first step for canoe lessons”, that is enough. I can come back with a clearer arrangement and let people decide then, rather than treat interest as attendance. The help I would value is someone with practical experience.
