The PADDLE PUSHERS and the ALBERNI WAVE RIDERS of PORT ALBERNI invite you to a Women’s Regatta on Beautiful Sproat Lake.

Sunday June 13, 2010

Due to restrictions, we are accepting only fifteen (15) entries with a goal to have representation from various communities around Vancouver Island.

This will be in a first come, first served basis.

The clinic will be open only to team members until April 1, when any remaining seats will be offered to Ergondragons members.

Several Phoenix Rising members have taken this course at least once (as I have), and recommend it highly. If you’re serious about improving your technique, this workshop is a must!

Waters Edge describes the course as follows:  ”The building blocks to an efficient and effective paddle stroke include such elements as paddle entry and recovery. This six-hour session will dismantle the mystique of the paddle stroke and provide participants with a strong foundation for stroke mechanics. The morning begins with a dry-land session on stroke technique followed by an on-water session, which will include individual stroke development and drills. The morning will conclude with a video taping session. The afternoon portion continues with individual stroke correction through video analysis, as well as, a follow-up on-water session. You will gain a greater understanding of the basic fundamentals and take away some key pointers that will be sure to improve your stroke significantly.”

Duration: 6.0 hours
