Overview:


This session looks beyond edging as a drill and reframes it as a relationship between hull, flow, angle of attack, and timing. The goal is relaxed, confident boat control in dynamic water - not forcing moves, but letting the boat work with the environment.





On-Water Focus:


- Using edge and angle together, not in isolation


- Crossing seams and eddy lines cleanly


- Managing commitment and hesitation in pushy water


- Staying loose and balanced under consequence





Who It's For:


Paddlers comfortable in currents who want their technique to feel calmer, smoother, and more deliberate rather than effortful.

Cost:
The cost of this On Water Clinicis $75
