Moving Water Skills Clinic

Aug. 10 @ 9:00 am – 2:00 pm    Free – $11.50

Moving Water Skills Clinic

Please note the date of this clinic has changed to a Sunday so that more people can participate.

Would you like to improve your skills in moving water, such as the Ozark rivers?  Jim Moody and Kathy Pszonka will be leading a clinic to help participants be better and safer paddlers. Skills include:

1. Appropriate rescue skills such as using a throw rope.
2. Safely paddling past a strainer.
3. Swimming to shore in current.
4. How to ferry and peel out.
5. What to do if you get caught in a strainer.
6. Other paddling skills to use in rivers.

This event is appropriate for beginners and intermediate paddlers. This is not appropriate for minors. It is NOT a whitewater clinic.

There are only 10 participant slots, so first come, first serve. Please get a ticket only if you are sure you can come.

You will get wet. Bring a throw rope and helmet if you have one. A bicycle helmet will also work. Bring a skirt if you normally use one. Also bring lunch, water, dry clothes and a folding chair. There are bathroom facilities.

The appropriate boat is whatever you would take on an Ozark River (no whitewater boats or boats larger than 14’5”)
