Basic Flatwater Paddling

Would you like to improve your flatwater paddling skills? The RICKA Flatwater Group will be holding a Basic Flatwater Paddling Class on Sunday, July 3rd at 1:00. In this 3-hour class, paddlers will learn the basic strokes and maneuvers to control their boats on flatwater. We will also cover basic rescue techniques. The class will take place at Stump Pond in Smithfield and will be free for RICKA and ACA members. If you are not an ACA member, there will be a one-time $5 event membership fee.

Class size is limited to 25 paddlers. Attendance is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Rental boats are not available, you must bring your own kayak.
