Refine your outfitting to paddle stronger, and stay safer on the water! This clinic, lead by Harriet Rollins Coggan, a physical therapist and former US team athlete, will show how dialing in your setup can improve comfort, control, efficiency, and reduce injury risk. Move beyond basic footrest adjustments and fine-tune every contact point in your boat to match your unique biomechanics for more efficient, powerful, and controlled paddling. Whether you’re new to paddling and outfitting your first boat or an experienced paddler looking to improve performance, this clinic will help you get more out of every stroke.  
This clinic is primarily focused on outfitting for whitewater kayaks, but will also cover relevant information for C1 and OC1 paddlers. 
No registration required – just drop in with your boat.

All participants in any Carolina Canoe Club (CCC) trip do so as common adventurers. The CCC or its individual members may coordinate paddling trips but no one is considered leader of a trip. As common adventurers, all participants take the responsibility for making their own decisions including, but not limited to, whether it is safe for them to participate on any particular water body, what equipment they need and use, the routes they may choose to paddle, whether their skill levels and abilities are adequate for the activity or whether climate and water conditions are appropriate for their participation. Participants are exclusively responsible for their own safety.

Individual coordinators for all CCC activities set requirements per their sole discretion. The CCC does not necessarily endorse or approve requirements set by coordinators.
