Saturday, April 16th, 2016

This practical clinic is designed to give you confidence with your bracing skills in the comfort of an indoor pool. You will practice techniques to balance your kayak on edge and use the low brace, high brace, and sculling to prevent a possible capsize. As well, you will learn to scull for support, a skill which can be used to prevent immersion during a partial capsize. Finally, you will learn the balance brace, a method to lay on the surface of the water while remaining seated in your kayak. This bracing technique was used by traditional Inuit kayakers for resting while at sea. You will feel empowered after gaining these skills!
