About this event
Robert is a coastal sea kayak and Greenland paddling instructor and Gearlab Outdoors Pro Athlete based in Seattle, WA. He will bring along his own kayak to illustrate how to optimize the setup of your deck and cockpit - and will do a Q&A session on this and other topics as they arise.
Robert's core focus falls into two key areas - working with paddlers to help them grow their skills, confidence, especially in rough water, and his passion for teaching Greenland paddling with an emphasis on the forward stroke and maneuvers. He holds the ACA L3 Coastal Kayak Instructor with the Coastal Kayak Trip Leader endorsement, Rolling instructor endorsement, and Advanced Communications instructor endorsement as well as the Paddle UK Sea Kayak award. He is also the Washington State Director for the ACA.
Make sure to check out the classes Robert is offering to the Club just after this meeting, on Saturday, April 12.
Social time with refreshments and a chance to check out library materials begins at 6:30 PM.
Presentation begins at 7:00 PM.
