Get ready for big water paddling by training on the the Potomac! The end of the summer is just the beginning of the season for intermediate and advanced kayakers. With heavy emphasis on play boating technique, we will put you in every circumstance to get ready for class III and IV whitewater. You will, for sure, test your roll and get the feel of paddling through strong, turbulent whitewater. Fall Training consists of 4 weeknight clinics and 4 Saturday workout sessions.
You choose a weeknight- Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Featuring guest instructors, these weeknight clinics will challenge you philosophically, by asking you to think about how water and boat interact, physically, by putting you in big holes, and mentally, by pushing your comfort zone. Instructors this year may be Bobby Miller, New Zealand boaters Rhys Elliot and Rhys Jensen-Jones, Steve-O McKone, and Tom McEwan. Weeknight classes are 5:30 – 7:30 pm, location will be determined based on river level and what the instructor’s lesson plan. Students will be notified of location through email.
Saturdays are work-out style, the whole Fall Training group practicing skills and training for fitness.
Please register for the weeknight you wish to attend practice, as well as the weekend you wish to go. Participants should have a play boat for weeknight classes.
Locations: Anglers, Little Falls, Great Falls MD, Great Falls VA, Gauley River in West Virginia.
