OUTRIGGER CANOE (OC1) FOUNDATIONS
This course is intended for paddlers who have recently completed the OC1 Introduction course, or have OC1 experience but want to refine the basics and dive into specifics to improve their stroke. All paddlers must return to basics at some point to refine their stroke to get faster and more efficient.
A qualified coach will teach paddlers how to break down the stroke, building on the paddle techniques in the Introduction course, as well as proper body mechanics on how to apply more pressure per stroke. All of this will result in a smoother-running canoe with strong precision.
All necessary equipment will be provided, no membership is required.
