Hi everyone,
In order to help people learn about how to minimise risks while on kayaking trips, and to cover the theory required for the next group of leaders, Michael Clark (RMIT outdoors club) will be running a theory night on kayaking.
Please note that this will be exclusively theory. It will likely be held online from around 7.30 pm - details to be confirmed closer to the date. The practical components of this course will be covered on Feb 4 at Lysterfield lake (separate sign-up - note some experience is required for the practical component of the course).
The main topics that will be covered are:
- kayaking equipment - types and correct usage
- teaching capsize drills
- teaching basic paddle strokes
- simple rescue/recovery techniques
Come along, bring a friend. This evening is open to people from any of the uni clubs that do kayaking. While this is primarily intended for paddling leaders, the theory covered will be useful for anyone interested in getting into kayaking.
