Sea Kayak Tuneup

Bring out your paddling gear and practice strokes, braces, and rescues on the water at Lake Cochituate in Natick. We will review gear and basic paddling techniques in the morning, then practice rolling and rescues in the afternoon. You are welcome to join us for the morning, afternoon, or all day. This is an important event for Paddling Leaders and LiTs to attend as we will review gear and safety techniques plus different rescue scenarios. You will need a boat (or rent one on site), PFD, spray skirt, paddle, and wet or dry suit for swimming in the afternoon. Also bring your tow lines, spare paddles, VHF radios, and other safety gear for discussion and practice. Contact leader for more details and itinerary.
Registration is needed for planning various group instruction. One group will practice bracing and rolling, although this is not a substitute for a pool class. Please register at this link: https://forms.gle/kLnFaKz7e1PUrMwi7
