Kayaking is the event that most adventure racers are least prepared for and remarkably it is the event that has the potential for giving you the best edge. There are lots of good bikers, lots of good runners, but not many good paddlers. A little bit of technique will overcome muscle all the time when it comes to paddling.
Take part in this Stroke Efficiency clinic with Kayak Racer and owner of Deep Cove Canoe & Kayak Centre, Bob Putnam Bob together with Dave Norona started the Deep Cove Tuesday Night Paddlesport Race and has been racing kayaks for 13 years and has been coaching competitive kayaks and xc skiers for almost as long.
The course will answer all your question about boat set up and stroke technique. We will focus on "Core" paddling by using your big muscle groups in your core, back and legs, instead of just those puny arm muscles that many novice paddlers use.
This will be condensed 2 hour session on-land and on-water with time to practice and get in a work-out. We can work on single kayak paddling and double kayak paddling.
DATE: Wednesday, May 11th, 6pm – 8pm.
LOCATION: Deep Cove Kayaks, North Vancouver, bC
COST: $15/person for the 2 hr session + Kayak rental
TO SIGN UP: Reservations required.

MOMAR 202 is the director’s cut version of the MOMAR 101 clinic for those who really want to do well at their first MOMAR, and as a stand-alone clinic for experienced racers who want to pick up an edge to make it onto the podium. The first day starts in the afternoon after the standard MOMAR 101 clinic (optional, requires separate registration) with a focus on practicing smart and fast navigation. On the second day you will learn and practice the key skills in all four disciplines (trail running, mountain biking, transitions and navigation) that you need to succeed at the MOMAR. Throughout the clinic the emphasis will be on showing you how to be a more efficient adventure racer. Participants will need to provide their full race kit on the second day. Limited to 8 participants who should be prepared to lift their performance.
