Freestyle/Playboating Youth Clinic

The GWC Freestyle Clinic will introduce you to the world of space Godzilla’s and phonic monkeys.  The Freestyle Clinic is dedicated to taking the paddler’s ability to a whole new level.  This is where you are introduced to the acrobatic side of kayaking.  You will learn how to perform stern-squirts, cartwheels and air-loops in a fun and safe environment.  Our instructors are no strangers to the competitive freestyle circuit.  They have competed against the best in national and regional competitions.  Our ACA instructors will start off each class with a video review session on how to perform each maneuver.  Next you will go to the water and try to put what they learned in the classroom to work.  While being on the water you will be filmed so you can see what you are doing correctly and be able to see what you need to work on for the next class.  Each student will have a goal that they will want to reach and it will be the job our instructors to teach them the proper steps of progression for them to reach their goals on the water.  We provide a kayak, paddle, sprayskirt, PFD and helmet. 

All participants must be able to swim and students must have demonstrated a good roll with one of our instructors before attending this class.

A minimum of 3 participants are required.  GWC reserves the right to cancel the course if the minimum is not met.
