About this event

As my close personal friend Billy Squire once bellowed, "Now everybody, have you heard, if you're in the game,  Then the stroke's the word"

That's right, let's go over paddle strokes.

A good forward stroke is the basis of all paddling.  It's where we start all our other strokes. In this class, we will learn about Forward and Reverse paddle strokes, as well as turning your boat with sweeps and maneuvering sideways with draw strokes. 

Bring a lunch, and plenty to drink.
