Nanaimo Paddlers Workshops

Paddlers Workshop  - April 25th & 28th

Advanced Paddlers Workshop  - April 26th & 29th

These sessions are designed around individual paddlers needs; The Paddlers Workshop will encourage new members and the less experienced to learn the correct technique for moving the kayak forward, backwards and sideways, so we spend time on the forward, reverse and  draw strokes before looking at sweep strokes to turn the kayak coupled with edge control. A wet exit and rescues also form part of this clinic.

For paddlers looking for a more advanced session The Advanced Paddlers Workshop provides coaching on kayak maneuverability under momentum utilizing a range of turning and draw strokes which might be used in current, surf and along a rocky shoreline to promote safe paddling. Self and assisted rescues are covers and practiced plus towing an injured paddler to safety.

Participants will leave the clinic encouraged to practice drills and with video used to aid improvement.

Payment is required in advance, to book a place through the club bookings NOT accepted any other way and will not be honored.

*Price $30 per person.

Kayak, safety gear and Dry suit rental is available on request.
