Paddle Clinic-Sprucevale (Beaver Creek State Park)

Another really warm day made for a great time to be in the water. A BIG THANK YOU goes to Ron Eells for leading this clinic. We had 11 members and one k9 attend. Ron covered Forward strokes, sweep strokes, braces, draw stroke, cross bow draw strokes and a couple of others. For many of us it was amazing to see how many bad habits we have as paddlers. Also how hard some of the more advance strokes can be. I know I keep missing the brace in my cross bow draw and went swimming because of it. (I blame the kayak: Should have been in my Canoe :)
Afterwards, Mark, Stan, Ken and myself were playing around and trying out different boats and swimming around. A big Congrads goes to Tom & Darla as this was there first time experience what it is like to flip a kayak, and to see there life vest work. Great Job!!!
Thank you again Ron. I know I have more work to do.
Mike
