About this event
ADULT NOVICE OUTRIGGER CANOE (6 person) - 4 Sessions THURSDAYS @ 6:30p - 8:00p September 12, 19 SUNDAYS @ 1:00p - 2:30p September 8, 15 If you’ve never paddled in an outrigger, or lack confidence in your paddling abilities, the False Creek Racing Canoe Club Novice Program welcomes you to learn the basics of paddling technique, boat safety, and outrigger culture! This is a co-ed program open to adults of all ages and is coached by experienced FCRCC outrigger paddlers. Through this program, you will learn outrigger paddling techniques (no paddling experience necessary), and develop paddling fitness. Please note that this course is on Thursdays from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm and Sundays from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm from September 8 - September 19. Sunsets may occur during evening session times; headlamps will be required for evening sessions. All sessions launch from the FCRCC Burrard site at the end of Whyte Avenue. (WARNING: the more practices you attend, the more quickly you will become addicted to outrigger paddling!) Participants do not need to be club members for this course but will need to become club members to continue paddling after the course and join a team. Course may be canceled if there are less than a minimum (7) participants registered 1 week before the session start date. Participants will be contacted accordingly if this happens.
