Intermediate Kayak Skills: Finesse Your Forward Stroke

THIS IS A WAITLIST-MANAGED EVENT. You'll be notified if you've been moved from the waitlist and registered. Participation is limited to 10 paddlers so everyone receives individual coaching.

This is not a class for learning the forward stroke. It's for intermediate paddlers who already have the basics and want to paddle farther and longer with greater efficiency—using better technique instead of more muscle.

We'll begin at the boathouse with a discussion and demonstration covering cadence, paddle depth, body positioning, and core engagement, followed by some chair-based practice. Then we'll head out for a short paddle against the current to put these techniques into practice on the water.

Prerequisite: You must be listed in our system as an Intermediate paddler.
