Boat Handling Fun day

Our popular boat handling courses are "fun days" focusing on personal technical skills. It is a course aimed towards the dynamic environment around rocks and along a rock shoreline. Which techniques do we use? How do we read the water to see where it is safe or not? A fun Sunday for you who wants to take their paddling one step further and shape up the strokes and/or head out towards the bouncy stuff.
 

- Dynamic forwards and backwards 
- Simplifying positioning strokes static and on the move 

- Boat trim

- Timing in wind and waves
- Low and high bracing

- Ruddering

- Catching ang bailing out

- Setting up a safe zone

- Mental awareness for muscle relaxation

 

Depending on the weather the focus points of the course may vary. We will always have a "build up" so that everybody feels comfortable with the environment and that it is a suitably challenged for the group with in the stretch zone. Continues communication with in the group through out the day and "safe zones" for reviewing the different sessions.
