Some boat control experience necessary. This clinic will focus on improving your forward, backward and cross forward strokes. The forward stroke is hardest to learn and is a lifelong learning process. There are two kinds of "J" strokes, "Traditional J" for cruising and "River J" for whitewater and easier boat control. Paddling backward is necessary for back ferry boat control in twisty moving water or whitewater.
You may use either a whitewater or flat water canoe. Tandem students need to bring their partner.
Cost: $25 (No discounts, includes equipment.) Please pay at time of event.
