Upgrade your Flatwater skills: TKs to Ks

If you’ve been paddling the TKs for a while, and feel like its time to try moving up a level, now is your chance. For a limited time, an experienced K1 paddler is willing to help club members move from their regular TK boats to the top level K boats.

This is a great chance to increase your skills and balance (useful in all disciplines). How fast can you really go? Don’t miss out.

Until the end of Semester 2, 2011

Saturday Mornings

Meeting dates: See schedule (below). Sessions are demand based.
Group size: Limited to 3 people (max) per session. First in first serve, or pre-arrange with the organiser.
Duration: 1 hour
Paddle type: Flatwater
Location: University of Queensland building 30 – UQ Canoe club boat shed
Address: North river end of Sir William MacGregor Drive, St. Lucia

Purpose:
Training and skills development aimed to move you from TK kayaks to K1 kayaks.

Switching to better kayaks will let you get a lot more out of your river paddling, more out of your training, and help prepare you for future club events.
