Learn to Paddle Harder, Better, Faster & Stronger!
Hone your forward stroke in this half-day course, a great training opportunity for racers and aspiring racers.
This course helps students build a foundation for stronger, faster forward propulsion in their kayaks. Through dryland and on-water drills we will learn how to practice and build muscle memory for a strong, safe, and efficient forward stroke. In addition, we will learn supplemental exercises to use during fitness training that target core muscle groups necessary for paddling. We will also discuss mental strategies for paddle racing and long-distance paddling. Whether you are interested in going fast, or want efficiency for everyday paddling, this is the class!
