Every year Sunrise Mountain Sports hosts an ACA (American Canoe Association) Instructor Certification Workshop to increase our expertise in kayak instruction. We hire ACA Instructor Trainer Educator Roger Schumann from Eskape Kayaking to oversee the training. We now have six ACA-certified sea kayak instructors on our staff. This year's training took place at our Kayak Center at Lake Del Valle and along the coast north of Santa Cruz at Franklin Point. I took some video of this year's training and thought I would share it with you. Some of the scenes are just for fun (speed launches, etc.) but if you are interested in your kayak technique you may be able to extract some improvements to you skills by watching the video. In particular, watch Roger in the blue spray jacket for examples of the correct form for many of the strokes.
Thanks,
Kim Grandfield
