Overview:


This is a practical, experiential look at how hull shape, rocker, volume distribution, trim, and posture affect real performance in moving water. Instead of theory on shore, participants feel the differences directly while paddling.





On-Water Focus


- Adjusting trim and posture for control and efficiency


- How different hulls respond in flow and on edges


- Recognizing feedback from the boat and water


- Making informed choices about setup and technique
