SCC Racing Lead  - James Block and SCC Club Coach Nick Redshaw are teaming up with Spring Valley Kayak School (South Wales) Coach Jim Pigdon to host a Forward Paddling Technique Day at Frankwell for SCC Members.

Between these three coaches they have an enormous amount of knowledge about kayaking and forward paddling to pass on.

This day is aimed at kayakers (age 11 upwards) wishing to improve their forward paddling technique and efficiency.

It is likely the day will be split into two halves - the morning being based in the Pavillion for theory on efficient forward paddling and a chance to practice techniques on dry land using Jim's Slider, Ergo and Balance Board designed for kayakers.

In the afternoon we hope to take these techniques onto the river so please bring paddling gear and a warm change of clothes.

Please meet at the Frankwell Cricket Pavillion at 9:30am ready for a 10am start. We anticipate the day will finish around 4-4:30pm.

There is a small charge for this event to cover the Pavillion Hire Fee.

Please bring snacks and lunch. Tea and Coffee will be available at the Pavilion.

Boats are available to hire from the club - please book these and pay the hire fee via the website prior to the event.

Please book on early to avoid disappointment as places are limited due to limited space in the Pavillion (if the weather is good we may be able to open up this opportunity to more club members) .

Please add yourself to the waiting list if interested in case of any last minute cancellations and this also gives us an idea of how popular such an event is and whether plans for another event like this should be made.

Please get in touch if you have any queries.
