| Join us for Atlantic Canada’s
premier sea paddling get-together, an opportunity for all those active
in this growing sport to meet, mingle and exchange ideas. There will
be slide presentations, safety demos and updates in this continually
evolving sport. Most of all, we will be on the water. On Saturday
we will visit the offshore islands (and the seals and sea birds) during
a choice of trips of varying lengths
and difficulties. We finish the day with a traditional church supper.
Sunday is devoted to improving your kayaking skills
with sessions on paddling strokes, rescues, navigation, "rock hopping" and
an introduction to surfing. New this year are both pre and post meeting
clinics. On Friday, June 7, there will be a tidal current session on the
Shubenacadie tidal river (Bay of Fundy) and on Monday, June 10, there will
be a surfing session at Clam Harbour Beach (both sessions are separate
registrations with limited space, extra fee applies). Come along and discover one of the best paddling destinations in eastern Canada. There will also be kayak demos and a swap and sale session for thosewith kayaking gear they wish to exchange or sell. This year we will again welcome Jim Price (Paddle Canada Senior Instructor Trainer) and Chris Lockyer (BCU 5 Star). Dates: June 8-9, 2013 Location: Coastal Exploration Centre, Tangier, N.S.
