The Art of Staying Upright in Your Kayak
Atrium - upstairs Sat 4:30pm-5:15pm
Staying upright is far better than risking exposure and expending energy getting upright. Having a roll and/or knowing recovery techniques are important. However, if you have good paddle support skills you minimize your chance of capsizing. When the wind picks up and the water gets rough your need for support increases. In addition, you also need to be able to maneuver against that wind while the water around you is bouncing your kayak around.
Traditional bracing classes focus on the slap brace, which is a one shot attempt at staying upright. This discussion focuses on reliable stroke techniques to give you support when paddling in rough water and skills for maneuvering against the wind.

Using Your Boat, Body And Blade For Efficient Paddling
Atrium - upstairs Sat 9:30am-10:15am
Paddling a kayak is more than just taking strokes with your paddle. Kayaking is a true marriage of your boat, body and blade. All three must be working together during all aspects of kayaking to get the most out of your equipment. We will discuss body position and movements, boat positions and movements, and closely view how to properly use and manipulate your paddle to get the results you want when kayaking and get the most out of your equipment.
