Tracking in Wind and Weather: How to Keep Your Kayak Going Straight

Tom Rickards - Lead Instructor

In this clinic we will be looking at how to control and track your kayak when faced with outside forces like wind, currents, or waves. We will be looking at the phenomena of weathercocking when your kayak will tend to want to turn into the wind. We will learn why this happens and practice techniques like ruddering, edging, and figuring out how to track and keep your kayak going straight to correct for these forces.

Cost: ($20 ACA-Members)  ($30 Non-ACA Members)

Boat rental free.
