2010 Summer Series Paddling Clinics - $25 per clinic
North Shore Trading Company is proud to offer Paddling Clinics by Scott and Cathleen at Captain John’s Fawn Harbor and Marina in Fawnskin on the North Shore of Big Bear Lake.
Instructors Cathleen Calkins and Scott Cordner are both certified paddle sport coaches with the British Canoe Union (BCU), a national governing body for canoe and kayak coaches in the United Kingdom with authority in North America (www.bcuna.com). The pair have taught clinics during the last two PaddleFests and bring a wealth of coaching experience – combined over 25 years - to North Shore Trading Company’s new paddle program.
Private Lessons - $20 per hour per person, two hour minimum
The North Shore Trading Company is offering a series of paddling clinics this summer beginning Saturday, June 12. The clinics will cover a progression of basic and advanced paddling strokes and safety issues, and are open to all levels of paddlers and all types of paddle craft, including canoes and kayaks.
The three-hour on-water classes will identify a progression of strokes and and techniques to make paddling more efficient and fun. Topics will include forward strokes, sweep strokes, edging, draw strokes, bow and stern turning strokes and capsize recovery. Participants may receive a BCU START Award and will have the opportunity to test their skills to receive a BCU 2 Star Paddling Assessment. This rating is a terrific beginning for paddlers interested in pursuing coaching or higher level skills certified by the BCU.
Learning will take place mostly on the water with some onshore instruction for demonstration and understanding. Games will be incorporated throughout the series to test techniques and stroke strategies.
Clinics will be based out of Captain John’s Fawn Harbor and Marina from 9:00 am until 12:00 am. Participants should arrive at 8:30 am to give themselves enough time to get their boat and gear ready.
