This stroke development class is designed for sea kayakers looking to learn or refresh their skills in the basic kayaking strokes. Those who have previously taken our Introduction to Sea Kayaking or Essentials of Coastal Kayakings classes will find this course useful to help ingrain their paddling skills learned in those courses. We will review balance and edging, body position and the concept of a connected paddling system (body, boat, blade), strokes and kayak paddle design. Students will also have the opportunity to try paddles of different types and materials during this class.
A sampling of the course content includes:
- Forward strokes
- Reverse stroke
- Draw and sculling draw
- Forward and reverse sweep
- Low and high brace
- Edge management
