The focus of this half-day flatwater session will be to help paddlers develop greater confidence in their kayaks and more comfort edging, trimming and leaning in their kayaks. The session will follow a progression to help paddlers build their confidence on their edges and improve performance during rescues. We will start by introducing and reviewing some basic balance strokes as well as explain and practice the nuances between edging, trimming and leaning in your kayak. Paddlers should be prepared to get wet as we will be pushing our comfort zones to gain a better understanding of how our kayaks handle. This session will also provide an opportunity to practice a variety of rescue techniques.
