Lady Paddlers, have you ever wondered what it’s like to paddle in bumpy water? Or ride a wave? Or ferry across current? If you have basic paddling skills, and know how to wet exit, this class is for you.
Over the course of the weekend, we will cover:
• Creating stability in rougher conditions
• Modifying boat handling techniques for bumpy waters
• Efficient / Effective forward stoke in conditions
• Experimenting with trim to manage windy conditions
• Making self and assisted rescues fast / efficient
• How to get your friends out of trouble using contact tows and tow lines
• Playing safely in conditions, potentially introducing tide races/tide race surfing
• Working as a group in conditions, and
• Route selection and navigation.
Instruction, one dinner, two breakfasts and lodging at Camp Wightman is included in the cost of the weekend retreat. For more information and registration, please visit: http://www.babeswithblades.info.

Note: this weekend retreat will offer two tracks – one for you ladies who have never paddled in bumpy water before, and the other for those who are familiar with bumpy, lumpy water and wish to take it up a notch or two.
