Paddles and Paddling: Version 2.0
with Werner Paddles' Danny Mongno
Wednesday, April 1st, 6-8pm
He's back! Werner Paddle's kayak instructor Danny Mongno will join us again for a paddle talk. If you attended Danny's talk last spring, join us for version 2.0--you won't want to miss it!
The sure fire way to guarantee more fun while paddling is to use less energy. The best two ways we know to get started on your quest is to assure you are using the proper fitting paddle and learn how to perform strokes more efficiently. In Paddles and Paddling-Version 2.0, Werner Paddle's kayak instructor Danny Mongno will expand on the information he shared with us during his 2008 seminar at The Kayak Centre. Starting with the paddle, he will review low angle and high angle paddling, paddle fit options and help prescribe the perfect fitting paddle for each individual.
From there we will dissect some of our every day strokes and see how, along with matching a better fitting paddle, we can perform these strokes using less energy and obtain better boat control. We'll take you beyond the basics of the key strokes used by all levels of paddlers in any type of kayak. This will be an interactive dry land instructional seminar, so whether you a sea kayaker, fisherman or quietly exploring the waters in your back yard, bring an open mind and get ready to have fun.
