About this event

This class focuses on two important techniques: sweep strokes and edging. Sweep strokes turn our kayak while also propelling us forward. This makes them the preferred turning stroke because they keep us moving forward. Edging makes our boat more maneuverable. The effect of any turning stroke is enhanced by edging our boats. Thus, edging and sweep strokes go together.
