Meet at 8:45am (Seattle folks can take the 7:30am ferry) at the boat launch at Evergreen-Rotary Park, 1500 Park Ave, Bremerton.
Bring lunch.
There’s much more to maneuvering your boat than just forward, reverse, and braking on one side to turn. Learning the maneuvering strokes allows you to control your boat better in wind or waves, or simply to make the boat go where you want it with the least amount of effort. Improving your strokes makes kayaking more fun! It provides you the fundamentals for training later in wind, waves, current, rock gardens, and surf.
We’ll cover edging, turning, bracing, sideways movement. (Forward and reverse strokes are covered in a separate clinic.)
Day 2 will be a paddle in Gig Harbor where we will have lots of features to meander around.
