Specialty kayak Clinics

[Steve-O McKone]

Hey all,

I just wanted to let you all know first before I put it out to the public that Stephen Wright is coming up here to do some specialty clinic with our kayak school. He has 3 classes that he specializes in Freestyle fundamentals, Bombproofing your roll, and Half-slice clinic. Classes for next weekend are up on our registration page. They will fill, so if you are interested then I would get on board ASAP. 

Link to our registration schedule is here. :)

If you don't know who Stephen Wright is here is his elevator bio:

6-time USA Freestyle Kayak National Champion

2-time Bronze Medalist at the ICF World Championships

15 year Head Coach for the OKS Keener Program

Team Jackson Kayak R & D and Marketing

Lives in a van down by the river year-round :)

We will be adding more classes as he gets closer to coming up here. If you are interested in private coaching from him, then reach out to us at River...@calleva.org to set up that scheduling.

I am personally stoked to take these clinics, it's always nice to learn from an accomplished paddler and see what they can add to our program. 

 

PADDLE EVERYWHERE!

Here are the class descriptions from the man himself:

Freestyle Fundamentals--learn to play!

Want to learn to playboat?  This class will teach you the basics of how to move your playboat in all directions and have more fun!  We'll spend half the time in the flatwater, and half the time surfing and working on wave/hole skills.  You'll have a plan for what to work on to keep improving after the class and you will be tired and sore.  See you there!

Bombproofing your roll!

Do you know how to roll in the flatwater, but sometimes miss them when it matters?  In this class we'll work on practices and techniques to take your roll from "sometimes" to EVERY time.  We'll practice the easiest most consistent flatwater techniques, then we'll go through a lot of the things that make us miss rolls.  We can also work on alternative roll techniques for folks looking to backdeck roll and hand roll.

Half-slicey boats!  Maximizing your fun.

Confidence-inspiring bow, playable stern?  This is the class for you!  We'll work on #Reckless Verticality (stern squirts), surfing, and river running skills.  I'll bring my Antix, you bring whatever half-slice you have.
