Pre - Whitewater Skills Training Session
Sunday 26 th May
This training session is suitable for any club member who is interested in paddling
whitewater in a short slalom type kayak.
You must be confident exiting an upturned kayak while wearing a spray deck.
The session will include;
- paddle stroke exercises
- boat control exercises
- linking strokes (compound strokes)
- edging and leaning
- rescues
- Come prepared to get wet (dress for immersion).
Please allow enough time to be ready with your kayak and gear by 10.00 am. There will be a short briefing before getting on the water. We should be off the water about 11.30am
If you plan to use a club boat, please make sure the footrests are adjusted correctly, and you have a good-fitting spray deck. You will also need a Euro-style paddle.
