Posted on Posted in Paid Event

Date: 06/06/20

Instructors: To Be Determined

Location: Tuckaseegee River and Fontana Lake (Nantahala Area)

Novice clinics are targeted at those who have some experience on whitewater and are proficient in flat water, know basic strokes and can maneuver the boat in Class 1-2 moving water, and is aimed at improving basic skills.  Usually, the first half of the first day is spent either on a lake or flat/moving water reinforcing basic fundamentals. This is a time that the instructor uses to assess the class and their skill level.  The second half of the first day then transitions to a Class I-II river, utilizing the skills practiced on flatwater.  The second day is spent on a class I-II or II-III river to allow the students time to practice, practice, and then practice some more until these fundamental skills become second nature.  Novice clinic students should have experience and be comfortable on rivers like the Lower Green, Middle Haw, and Tuck Gorge. Those with no experience or flatwater experience only should register for the beginner clinic.
