Paddling course instructed by Gary Doran and Richard at the Crystal Pool.
GRAY ZONE
(3 hours) Brace yourself, this is going to be fun!
This practical course is designed to give you confidence and comfort in the gray
zone: the area between being right-side-up and upside-down. In the warmth of an
indoor pool, you will practice techniques to balance your kayak on edge and use
the low brace and high brace to prevent a possible capsize. As well, you will learn
to scull for support and prevent immersion during a partial capsize. Finally, you will
learn the balance brace, a method to lay on the surface of the water while remaining
seated in your kayak. This technique was used by traditional Inuit kayakers for
resting while at sea. You will feel empowered after gaining these skills!
Before taking this course, we recommend that your have basic kayaking skills and
rescue skills.
Time on water - 3 hours.
