To truly enjoy the sport of kayaking we need to be more efficient in our strokes. The less energy we use, the longer we can stay out, the more fun we will have. A key element of efficiency in your paddling is making sure you have the proper design and fitted paddle. Join 19 veteran Canoecopia presenter, Danny Mongno, as he explains all the aspects of selecting the perfect kayak paddle. Once each and everyone has their perfect paddle fit dialed in, he will spend the remainder of the class working on some exercises for you to take home and get you ready for the paddling season. Efficiency covered from all angles!

To reach those goals we need to work on the most important stroke of all, we need an efficient Forward Stroke.
