Announcement: New Online Kayak Coaching Series
Have you ever watched a kayak video and thought, “I wish I could ask that amazing paddler how they do that [insert stroke/move/trick here]”
Sometimes when you get off the water, do you wonder, “Why do I keep flipping in that [insert feature here]? It would great if I could just ask an expert.”
Are you curious about things like expedition paddling, developing mental strategies and how to level up your kayaking game?
Do you miss having that connection with other paddlers during this time of social distancing?
Well we have a solution for you!

Beginning April 19th, we will be offering live-stream interactive video courses! After a fifteen to twenty minute presentation on a subject, you will have opportunity to ask the instructor questions and chat about the topic during a moderated Q&A session. You’ll also have the chance to join smaller breakout groups for a continued discussion.
