A day of instruction for paddlers comfortable with maneuvering in calm water, who are interested in expanding their skills in moving water. We will work on the fundamental maneuvers for sea kayaking in current, including eddy turns and ferrying, and refine and apply strokes such as rudders and sweeps to execute those maneuvers with grace. This course is useful as an intro to currents, or as a chance for those with previous currents training to improve finesse and understanding in a moderate current environment. We’ll also have the opportunity to refine bracing and rescues in calm water, as well as adapting those skills to be useful in moving water.
(Course will likely launch from Robinhood Marina in Georgetown. Parking/Launch fee is approximately $10 per kayaker)
