CCA in collaboration with Calleva and Paddlesport Institute has commissioned Jordan Taylor to lead an Advanced Whitewater Skills course for Open Canoers who are comfortable running the Lower Yough or similar Class 3 rivers. (C2ers welcome if the paddlers have previously paddled tandem together.) This is an all-day session for CCA members on Monday, August 18. The course will include moving water maneuvers, paddling techniques and mechanics, ranges of motion, body positioning, paddle placement, propulsion and turning. More technical and challenging lines and maneuvers will be identified as options for participants.
