Technique Tune-Up

TECHNIQUE TUNE-UP Next dates: TBA

A one-day on the water OC1 workshop designed to dramatically progress your paddling.

  • Would you like to put time into your technique, but lack a clear method to do that?
  • Are you an experienced paddler and feel like you have plateaued?
  • Are you a newer paddler who is hungry for information?
  • Have you had coaches tell you what to do, but you still don’t know how to make it happen?
  • Are you trying to figure out what’s missing and are ready for a breakthrough?

The Technique Tune-Up Workshop is for paddlers who:

  • Want coaching to help them get to the next level
  • Are looking for actionable tools to improve their paddling
  • Want to understand the technique and know how to work on it
  • Have the skills to feel confident in rough conditions
  • Want to overcome hip, back, or shoulder pain while paddling 
  • Have a new canoe and want to bond with it
  • Want to ace their club OC1 time trial for OC6 team selection

You can expect the Technique Tune-up workshop to help you:

  • Get more power out of your stroke
  • See your hull speed improve
  • Paddle with your whole body
  • Have a solid catch and an effective reach
  • Feel confident to use your brace stroke and sit more centered

After this workshop you will gain:

  • More power 
  • More speed
  • More confidence
  • An understanding of how to paddle with your whole body
  • The skill to stop a huli 
  • The confidence to stop leaning left on your ama

The Technique Tune-Up is ideal for paddlers who want specific feedback on their paddling, want to generally keep refining their paddling technique or have completed past workshops with me and want another round of coaching support to get to their next level.

While this workshop is suitable for a range of paddlers, from first year OC1 paddlers to experienced paddlers, it is not for first time OC1 paddlers.

“The workshop was invaluable. I had no idea how much of the very important basics that I have been missing. You’ve given me tons of good stuff to work on and a big confidence boost.”  -Leigh

What people are saying:

“Lots of small changes and plenty to focus on after attending the one-day clinic with you. I paddled from Hawaii Kai to Ala Wai Marina and it went great! It was especially fun switching out my tempo to catch waves.”  
-KATRINA

“This workshop was full of down to earth super useful tips and drills. It built my confidence and improved my paddling foundation. It was so worth it to go back to the basics and the fundamentals!”
-NANCY W.

“I’ve been working on my brace stroke and paddling on the right with the ama exposed and you are so right, the stability is on the right! Even though we only had the one day together, I learned a lot! Mahalo Nui Loa”
