1-Day Advanced Freestyle Kayaking Clinic

Top 3 Reasons to Go
  1. Our friendly proessional Team Z instructors
  2. A variety of reliable summer playboating spots within a short drive of Zoar Outdoor
  3. Onsite camping and lodging

In this intensive one-day clinic you'll learn advanced freestyle kayaking from top paddlers. Building on basic freestyle kayaking technique, we take the moves several steps further to work on multiple ends of a cartwheel, advanced flat spinning and looping.  This clinic is for advanced intermediate and advanced kayakers. Participants in these clinics should be able to initiate both bow and stern moves, cartwheel on flatwater and have a solid class III roll.

In this clinic, we systematically work to help you break through to a higher level of whitewater play. Moves such as getting the third end of a cartwheel can be a challenge without clear instruction and helpful feedback.

WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO PREPARE

Goal of the clinic:

To help intermediate to advanced freestyle paddlers learn the techniques that enable them to do multiple cartwheels, loops and other more complex moves.

Class Size: Instructor-to-student ratio: 1:4; Maximum clinic size: 12

Who should take the clinic:

You should be able to initiate both bow and stern moves and have a solid class III roll. Our minimum age for this clinic is 14.

What will be covered:

After reviewing basic freestyle technique and filling gaps in students' knowledge we introduce more advanced concepts such as spin momentum.  We then move on to more advanced moves including flat spinning, cartwheeling and looping. We practice stringing moves together in a dynamic sequence that will help you shred with style.

“I don't think you've ever had a group come away happier from a class than our group was that night! We went back to my place, and we all critiqued ourselves and each other so we would remember what to remind each other of.  Then we watched tons of video footage as we tried to relate what we had learned to watching other paddlers running the gnar.  Every one of us felt that we had learned a ton, and that it had really increased our confidence.  People kept walking around the house going "What an AWESOME day". “
