Mark your calendars! Sunday March 11th right after Canoecopia we will be hosting a Rolling & Strokes Clinic with Greg Stamer & Freya Hoffmester here in Baraboo. About a 40 minute drive on I-90/94 north of Madison. This is NOT just for traditional rollers. Anyone who wants to learn to roll, brush up or learn some of those funky Greenland strokes & rolls are welcome. Freya will also be putting some time in to show how she teaches the roll which will be great for current instructors. Greg will be opening the evening with a strokes demo. The clinic will be held after right after Sunday’s Canoecopia festivities at the Baraboo School District Indoor Pool starting at 6pm and will go to approximately 10pm. I know many of us will need to head back to our homes Sunday evening but for those of us who will be in Madison for Canoecopia this will be a great opportunity to learn from some of the best. Participation is limited. Cost is $60 per person and includes: rolling & strokes demos, instructor tips and personal instruction from Greg and Freya. Other instructors will be on hand to share their tips as well. Kayaks will be provided for instruction and a few boats will also be available for some free play & practice time as well. Lodging is available in Baraboo if you don’t feel like driving after the session. Feel free to pass the info on to anyone you think might be interested.

To reserve a spot, for lodging suggestions, or if you have questions just email me derrick@kayakquixotica.com. Payment can be made via paypal.

Again participation is limited and I’ve already taken 4 reservations before I even got this posted so if you want to take advantage of this opportunity contact me as soon as possible. This should be a fun relaxed evening we look forward to ending our exciting weekend with a little time in the water!
