This
clinic is an excellent follow up clinic to the
QuickStart and Intro to Kayaking Clinics. It is also an excellent precursor to
the White Water Clinics. In this course the student will learn proper boat fit
effective for rolling, will learn to safely perform a controlled wet exit from
a skirted kayak. We will teach you the proper body and paddle placement to
successfully roll your kayak upright..
This clinic is most effective when delivered in two sessions. The
first session is approximately 1 hour and is spent viewing the video
"Grace Under Pressure". This video not only gives excellent
instruction on rolling technique, but also prepares you mentally for
experiencing and conquering a low oxygen environment. The second
session is 4 hours and is done at a local pool.
The pool provides a relaxed environment so the student can experience and
practice this skill.
Although not required before taking the Whitewater clinics, the student who
completes this class will have a more rewarding experience when pursuing more
challenging water.
