Kayaking Clinic: Strokes and Techniques

Did you know there is more to kayaking than just paddling forward? There are a wide array of kayak strokes and techniques that help paddlers be in control of their boat. From sweeps to draws, being in control of your kayak helps you advance in your kayaking and it all starts with the fundamentals. Join us this evening as we review the basics, learn more advanced techniques and have fun paddling on the water. This class is the first step in TIO’s teaching/coaching for kayaking and leads to more advanced paddling classes like skirt clinics, moving water skills classes, self-rescue and much more.

Where:

Who is this class for?

What’s it like?
