Bracing, Edging & Recoveries

Ever wish you had an emergency, almost-instantaneous outrigger to help you balance and stabilize your kayak? In this class you will build your own. You will then learn to use it to make your strokes much more easily and all of your paddling more confident, more secure, and more stable. We will help you improve your sweeps, low and high brace turns, bow rudders, hanging draw, and stern rudders.

Each class will be limited to four students per instructor and be conducted in a protected area at War Veteran’s Memorial Park.

The class costs $49 per student.

 

*Students who complete either course will receive a

$20 Gift Certificate from CCO.
