Boat Control Clinic with David Johnston

skill level:   open to all
ages:   adult
price:   $75.00


Ever have a hard time getting your kayak to go straight in the wind? Or, have you had a tough time trying to turn your kayak around in the wind leaving you feeling like you’re not in control? Both can be a lesson in frustration.

Throughout this clinic, we will teach you the proper technique and skills necessary to make your kayak go straight and turn in the wind when you want to. We will cover off bow and stern rudder, draws, edging & bracing in waves

This clinic is open to anybody but we suggest that you have had some experience in a kayak before to maximize learning.
