Click here to find out more about the mentors.Why?: This is probably the best chance you have this year of learning to roll or improving your rolls. Also because it is SUPER FUN!! Last year's event was a great success and so much fun, many people went away with new friends they've been paddling with ever since. We had paddlers of all abilities; some who started the weekend not wanting to go upside down and left with a roll at the end. Others who are so into Greenland rolling they sleep with their stick ended up perfecting that forward finishing roll or hand roll they've been trying to get forever.
How Much: $ 306. plus tax (reg price is $340+tax for the event)
(Thursday evening arrivals with the extra day of private instruction with Cheri and Turner or paddle building with Tom is an extra $180+tax - $ 200 reg price)
All instruction, accommodation and meals included from Friday night's dinner to Sunday's lunch. BYOB for the evenings and BYOSB, (bring your own sleeping bag). We sleep in the camp bunkies but if you prefer more privacy you can BYOT (tent). We have kayaks to rent for those who don't have their own. We have Greenland paddles to borrow and SOF's (skin-on-frame) kayaks of all sizes for those who want to try one.
