Answer
We are all meeting at the NE Intermediate Rough Water Symposium in Pt Judith, RI on Thurs, Aug 28th for 3 days of paddling in tidal streams, rock gardens and surfing with a bit of new BCU 4 and 5 Star. We look forward to visiting with each other and sharing fresh ideas about expeditioning, coaching and paddling.
But the RWS is really for you…for the developing, intermediate level paddler looking to improve, interested in studying, questioning and trying new things with a solid, strong, caring group of coaches and guides. The RWS is not some crazy cowboy event for the Big Dogs - they should try and follow these coaches down through Penryn Mahr on Springs on a big day. Instead, this is about advancing your personal paddling, about building our paddlesport community, about friendly, supportive, professional coaching relevant to your skill level. This is why we’ve rented
So we invite you to come get a paddle wet with us…join us for this 3 day weekend of bumpy (maybe even lumpy) training, family style meals in the dining hall overlooking the bay, tenting and sleeping cabins next to community baths with hot showers, quiet walks along relaxing fields, evening gatherings around a beach fire on the warm shores of Pt Judith’s inner harbor, our very own RWS paddlesports giveaways and awards ceremony, evening stories about trips in far off lands…
Come help build our community, Share Tall Tales.
Until we get a paddle wet…
