    Hi folks, on the weekend of Aug 25/26th we have the second meet of the Scottish Freestyle Canoeing group. Canoe freestyle has been likened to behavioural training for your canoe - we aim to help you paddle with grace and finesse, developing skills that are efficient and effective, and which rely on good technique rather than brute force.

    This event is suitable for paddlers of roughly 3* standard and above - you need to be able to paddle in a straight line forwards using a J-stroke. It is for canoes only (not sit on tops or kayaks), and to avoid any confusion, it is NOT the same as WW kayak freestyle. Venue is Gladhouse Resevoir just south of Edinburgh. If you can only make one day, that`s cool - Saturday is your best bet :)

    I`ll stick up directions in due course.

    Saturday:

    9 - 12 Canadian “style” paddling - graceful turning, pinwheels, inner and outer circles
    1 - 4 Either more advanced Canadian style or moving into American freestyle - Axles, Posts, Christies etc, depending on what folks want.

    Sunday

    9 - 4 Further exploration of Freestyle techniques

    Please let me know if you are interested,
    Nick
