***** THIS CLINIC IS NOW FULL. *****
This clinic is for beginner/early intermediate paddlers. We will start at Gyro Park, Cadboro Bay with a brief land-based class session followed by a paddle to the current location at Cadboro Point (aka “10 Mile Point”) where we will discuss and practice reading the water, overfalls, standing waves, whirlpools, ferrying, eddying in and out, edging, bracing, forward paddling with power and learning to paddle with confidence in currents. It is a fun session!
This clinic requires minimum Level 1 or equivalent skills as well as being comfortable for possible capsizing. This area is a good training area because if you do capsize, you will not travel very far! Immersion gear is necessary as is a helmet. Have a change of warm clothes in a drybag in your kayak.
Where: Gyro Park at Cadboro Bay
When:- Saturday, January 9th. Meet at 9:30am so you and your kayak are ready for the 10:30am OTW start.
Plan:- as described above. Please bring lunch or a substantial snack as well as hydration. There is a small beach nearby for breaks. The ebb starts at about 12 noon and will build over the next few hours.
If the winds are too strong, you will receive an email the night before and the clinic can be changed to a later date.
If you have any questions, please contact Jennie Sutton at jlsutton50@gmail.com

***Please Note: At the moment, the orders from Dr. Bonnie Henry remain in effect until January 8, 2021. If her orders are extended beyond this date, we will need to cancel this clinic so that we are compliant. In the event that this happens, all registrations will be refunded.
