the next level, this session will help you.

Paddling with Style - (Saturday) Dave Fairweather
Clinics £50 Each
Whitewater kayaking is all about style. Not just looking good, but working out what style works best for you. Paddlers come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, with different builds, boats, and ways of doing things. This workshop will focus on developing your skills to suit your own unique paddling style and helping you to work towards your paddling goals. Instead of trying to copy what we see other paddlers doing, we will be working out how best to use your strengths to make whitewater paddling work for you.
