NEW For 2009!
Hollow Core Wooden Paddle - We are pleased to have Mark Rogers of Superior Kayaks with us this year. Mark will be leading upp to two classes of four students each in making their own hollow core paddle.
Harpoon Making by Chris Raab of Tuktu Paddles - This class will be taught by Chris Raab of Tuktu Paddles www.tuktupaddles.com . Chris is known for his knowledge of woodworking, good humor & easy going style. The workshop will begin at 9AM sharp Friday. You will be creating your very own harpoon & throwing stick.
 The deep stretching and yoga postures in Thai Yoga Massage help to increase flexibility and provide a greater range of physical motion. (Sound good for kayakers?) This 2000 year old body work is performed fully clothed and will cleanse and unlock the energy lines of the body.
The workshop will have students working in pairs on techniques that will revitalize the connection between your body and your mind – and feel very good in the process. Additionally, individual Thai Massage will be offerred by certified therapists during the retreat.

What People Say - "Wow... thanks for organizing a great weekend. What a trip! I was able to do back braces, side skulls, and my standard roll like a dream...maybe there is a skin on frame boat in my future. The guide format was ideal. I was able to pick up small trick from lots of different instructors as well as work closely with one or two. The guide format also allowed me to work on my own and fine tine the few basic things I was trying to learn as well." - Henry Coffee

 An Older Approach
The manner in which knowledge is passed on from one person to another at the Retreat is different than that which most people have experienced at other kayak retreats. Instead of top-down "instruction" We advance a principle that we are all learners, acknowledging that virtually all of us have knowledge we can share with other paddlers.
