| 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 and navigation. New
clinics this year include rock hopping and an introduction to surfing. 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 again welcome the newfie wit and wisdom of Jim Price, CRCA Senior Instructor Trainer. Dates: June 13-14, 2009 Location: Coastal Exploration Centre, Tangier, N.S.
