This event has been cancelled in light of the COVID-19 travel restrictions. We hope to reschedule later in the season. 

This spring Nate heads back to New York City - a collaboration with The Kayak Foundation and instructors Todd Seidman and Matt Frey. We’ll offer two days of dynamic skills development (and available L3 Skills Assessment) near NYC on June 13th and 14th. Our first day will likely be on the East River - Brooklyn, reinforcing foundational skills, working in current, using all those bumpy wakes to improve personal skills and confidence. On day 2 we’ll head out to a coastal venue just outside the city, perhaps Democrat Point on Long Island to refine skills in surf and more exposed waters.

During the weekend, Nate will provide individual attention to assess targets for improvement, and help students improve efficiency, effectiveness and understanding. Our goal is to take the strokes and maneuvers that students have previously learned, and apply them more effectively in conditions that are more challenging to each paddler. We’ll put an emphasis on practical tools for students to self-evaluate and continue improving their techniques beyond these two days of coaching contact.

This course is appropriate for paddlers who have had some previous instruction, and are looking to improve their skills in more exposed water. (Paddlers with emerging ACA L3 skills through strong L4 paddlers would be appropriate for this course. If you’d like to discuss whether this course is right for you, call or send a message at the link below.)

(Participants who wish to receive a L3 Skills Assessment, should bring their ACA membership number. Join/renew here.)
