8:30 AM to 1:00 PM

Tidal currents occur in many locations and present a unique environment for kayakers. For paddlers with the right strokes, tidal currents provide an interesting and fun location to ‘play.’ At the same time, ‘playing’ in tidal currents greatly improves your paddling skills and provides you with improved confidence the next time you encounter moving water on your kayaking trips. In this clinic, you’ll learn how to use ferry glides to effortlessly cross current without ‘losing ground,’ and you’ll practice ‘peeling out’ to join current—one of the most enjoyable skills to perform in a sea kayak! With these skills in hand, you’ll have lots of opportunity to ‘play’ on current-formed waves!
