About Fine Tuning Your Stroke |
 What you’ll learn in Beyond the Basics:
- review of paddler ready position – stance, symmetry, pivoting
- paddles – blade size, shaft and length
- proper boat fit for solid bracing
- forward / reverse and stopping stroke primer – stance, symmetry and torso pivot
- catch & recovery of blade
- edging, leaning, pivoting with timing & co-ordination (make the kayak dance)
- low & high brace turns
- draws – underwater recovery – sculling draws
- what the next steps are to practice on your own
We'll meet at the Paddling Centre at 8:45 am for coffee, tea, & on-site orientation. We’ll start at 9:00 am sharp with an introductory meeting and overview of the morning. Then we'll jump in a kayak and go paddlin’.
