Paddling Progression Clinics
Forward Stroke Refinement
As kayakers, we paddle forward 99% of the time, so having a good forward stroke and efficient technique will make all the difference in how far we can go and how much fun we have.
In this clinic we will refine our forward stroke and work on developing good torso rotating and efficiency so we can have more fun on the water without getting tired.
Dates:
- Tuesday, May 27, 6pm
- Tuesday, June 24, 6pm
- Saturday, August 3, 10am
- Tuesday, August 19, 6pm
Re-entry Refresher
It is always good to review and practice our re-entry skills at the beginning of the season so we know we still ‘got it’ when we actually need it.
This is a great opportunity to practice and improve your skill and maybe even learn a new technique.
Please note: you must have previous experience doing wet exits and re-entries!
Dates:
- Tuesday, May 13, 6pm
- Tuesday, June 3, 6pm
- Saturday, June 28, 10am
- Tuesday, July 15, 6pm

Greenland Paddling
Are you curious about Greenland Paddles and Greenland Kayaking?
In this course we will learn all about Greenland paddles, what makes them great, how to use them effectively and how we might want to modify our strokes (compared to using a Euro blade) so we get the most out of our Greenland paddle.
Dates:
- Tuesday, June 10, 6pm
- Tuesday, July 8, 6pm
- Saturday, August 2, 10am
- Saturday, August 30, 10am
Kayak Rolling
Rolling is the best way to recover from a capsize.
In this course, we will learn the body dynamics that go into rolling our kayak back up. We will focus on proper technique over power so everybody can develop a confident roll that will work for them.
Dates:
Weekly throughout the summer
Refer to our full rolling clinic page for dates
Advanced Strokes
There are a lot of different strokes out there that allow us to maneuver our kayak very precisely and with minimal strength. If you have ever been curious to learn bow rudders, low brace turns and other fun strokes, then join us a night of experimenting and learning new strokes!
Dates:
- Tuesday, June 17, 6pm
- Tuesday, July 29, 6pm
- Saturday, August 23, 10am
Try Surfskiing
Surfskis are fantastic if you want to develop your stroke technique, want to cut through the waves (and eventually surf them), work on your cardio, or just enjoy trying something new.
In this course we will introduce surfskis, learn how to paddle them comfortably and confidently and what to do if we were to capsize.
Dates:
Weekly throughout the summer
