I know this is VERY last minute everyone, and I apologize.
There will be a rudderless clinic tomorrow after noon at Kailua Beach Park. This clinic is geared towards the 14-18 year old age group, but all are welcome to come and learn. Boats will be provided as well as instruction from 10 very talented teenage paddlers from Tahiti. After the technique clinic, a very informal and fun relay race is scheduled. Teams will be made at random from a mixture of experienced and inexperienced paddlers. The emphsis will be on having fun and learning! If nothing else, come for the free give aways at the event. Just show up with your paddle and plan to have fun!
Here are the pertinent details.
Where: Kailua Beach Park, by the Kailua canoe club site. Depending on conditions paddling will take place in the ocean or canal.
When: Wednesday, September 16th from 3:30 to 5:30 PM.
Who: any teenager, but all are welcome.
What: Basic rudderless technique clinic, with FUN relay race at the end of the day.
How Much: FREE!
If you have any questions please feel free to PM me. Otherwise we will see you there!

This isnt 2 do wif da clinic but can anyone comment on how a rudderless surfrigger goes compared with other rudderless boats? Ease of steering, tracking, just plain speed, handle waves?
Thanks

Surfrigger happens to have enough hull length for tracking, has enough bouyancy in the hull ends to float OK in choppy water but still sharp enough to have glide. New shape ama ploughs.
