Loch Lomond MicroSession: Backwards paddling… to improve all your strokes!

MicroSessions (first and third Tuesday of each month through-out year) MicroSessions are short coached sessions which focus in one skill or area of knowledge. They tend to be run as part of a loch/pool session and are generally turn up on the night.

Tonight’s session: backwards paddling… to improve all your strokes!

Level: all

Speak to: Misha ‏on the night. Session will start at 7.15.

Why backwards paddle?!  While we spend a lot of time forwards paddling, we don’t spend a lot of time backwards paddling.  Yet a backwards paddle stroke forms the basis for support and manoeuvring strokes on the water, all the ones that most often fail people (because we are so poorly practised at backwards paddling) !    

You’ll need a sea kayak, spray deck, PFD & paddle all of which can be hired from the Loch Lomond container.
