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

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...
