This full day class introduces the skills and knowledge needed to paddle in wind and waves. The class will be held in more open water with wind up to 15 knots. You will discover how to apply all of your flat water strokes and maneuvers in a windy environment. You will learn how to make use of a skeg or rudder to balance your direction in a cross or down-wind scenario. You will gain experience paddling in head, side and following seas, and will apply your self and assisted rescue skills in the kind of environment where they are likely to be needed. Paddling in Conditions will be scheduled a couple of times during the summer. Call to reserve your spot in the next class
