Meet at Bowman Bay parking lot at 8 am. The course will be held primarily in Bowman Bay.
You have seen them, the skinny wooden or carbon fiber paddles. You maybe even own one. They really work, but not exactly like your usual paddle. Learn how to do all the things you normally do with your paddle and even a few more. Get all your questions answered. This has been my go-to paddle style for 20 years and I have learned from both top US and Greenland paddlers.
