K110 - July 18 Kayak Basics and Roll
Well we want to start out by making sure that you all know that you did so awesome, everyone came leaps and bounds from when you first got into your kayaks and the end of the class.
Here is what we covered;
1) Boat design and function.
2) Safety and paddling gear
3) Wet Exit
4) Paddle Strokes-Forward, Sweep, Draw.
5) Paddle techniques - Bracing
6) The T-Rescue
7) The Roll
Where to go from here:
Try to get into a pool rolling class the more time that you spend learning to roll the better off that you will be.
Get back in a boat as soon as possible remember that if you don't use it you loose it.
Come to Renaissance on the River (Check the Web Site for location) on Wednesday Nights
Get into a river course
Take the Basics class again to really hone your skills and work out any bad habits that might have been formed.
Please if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask you can reach me at marhoden@gmail.com
Thanks so much for spending the day with us, we hope that you had a wonderful time and that you learned a lot and that you were not to sore after your day of fun on the H2O.
Sincerely,
Marcus and Christine
