"Paddle Faster" Clinics 

This is your chance to become an efficient and powerful paddler through the tutileage of our local paddling gurus- Greg Dutton and Heather Nelson. All those questions you have about how to paddle like a pro... attend this workshop to find out. We cut down our instructor to student ratio to 1:4 so that you can have huge amounts of time and attention to become comfortable in the basics of the forward stroke, sea kayak safety, rescues, and advanced paddling techniques.   Our instructors are ACA certified, and excited to bring the world of sea kayaking within reach of us all.  This series of workshops is timed perfectly for the Ski to Sea and Bellingham Traverse races. So if you are interested in drastically improving your race time (or just figuring out how not to flail on the course), then you need to attend this 5 session series.    All sea kayak equipment and instructors are provided.   This series is intended for intermediate to advanced paddlers, ages 16 and over.
