Do other people go faster than you on the water? Further, with less effort?

Do your arms get tired on longer journeys?

Do you look at cool trips or challenging courses and think "I'm not quite there yet"?

It's probably your forward paddling technique.

Most people figure out how to make the boat go forward in their first few sessions and then never think about it again. They paddle inefficiently, wasting energy and generating "just enough" power. And then they miss out on all the great trips - on sea paddling, whitewater kayaking, multiday touring - because they're "not quite ready".

Come and spend an hour and a half really looking at the forward paddle stroke, at how we can utilise the structure and power in our bodies to propel the boat forward. And then go on the cool trips, the challenging courses, the new environments.
