Kayak Clinic's By Brent Reitz KAYAK FORWARD STROKE CLINIC - JUNE 10, HALF MOON BAY, CA
All paddlers can improve upon their Forward Stroke, but adventure racers really benefit from a little coaching and practice! The popular Forward Stoke Clinic is taught by Brent Reitz, past national wildwater and marathon champion, and veteran of the U.S. Olympic sprint kayak program. It is the premiere clinic that brings the techniques of the elite Olympic kayaker to the recreational racer! In Brent's words, "The forward stroke is the most used, but least taught, and perhaps most poorly understood stroke in kayaking". Paddle more efficiently, avoid injury, avoid bad habits that cause further injury. Learn proper technique from the very beginnning, or tune-up your skills to gain more power per stroke!"


Brent will give his Kayak Forward Stoke clinic on June 10 at California Canoe & Kayak in Half Moon Bay, and again on July 15 on the Oakland Estuary. Past participants include many top regional kayak racers, as well as aspiring adventure race team members. We video your stroke throughout the clinic, and review the tape during the class for analysis and feedback. If you have never seen yourself paddling on video, this is one of the best ways to improve your forward stroke! Brent will blow your mind with his precise but gentle critique.
