The creeking clinic is designed to provide participants with a guided experience to get to know and explore the river, to build confidence in paddling narrow and steeper rapids, paddling in cold temperatures at the start of the season and explore the limits of their comfort zones in a safe and supportive setting.
The clinic takes place over the entire river run where we will explore warm-up techniques, refine basic skills and maneuvers to inspire confidence, set goals for the day, scout and dissect the more challenging rapids, encourage self-regulation and safety with our line choices, river running styles, options to walk, and explore the river in a way to inspire confidence and good decision making.
We’re really looking forward to helping build confidence and competency in low volume, highway 7 run creeking styles!
Expectations of participants:
Instruction will take place throughout the river run, and is suited to experienced but novice-and-up paddlers looking to build confidence. Participants must have cold-immersion gear (dry suit preferred), a consistent combat roll, confidence in class III and a willingness to challenge themselves and implement coaches’ feedback.
Kayak Demo Boats:
Between Paddler Co-op and Frontenac Outfitters, there’s a pretty sweet fleet of demo boats to be tried. If you’re interested in trying one out on the clinic, let us know and we’ll get in touch with sizes and availability. We have Dagger Codes, Mambas, Nomads, Jackson Zen 3s, Nirvanas, Gnarvanas and more! Demos will be first-come first-served.
