and if you bring your weight in children sure, I'd recommend you to go to adult flatwater though, Title: Re: FCRCC Youth Warcanoe now recruiting, Post by: brainiac on June 22, 2007, 04:00:05 PM I'd recommend you to go to adult flatwater though, I've been trying flatwater (k1) and it's a gas. No other boat (at least not db or oc) allows you to connect with the water and develop good balance so well, IMNSHO. However, be prepared to get wet. The sessions are also known as "adult capsize lessons". If you're coming from a pure db background, I'd suggest a gentler transition via OC1. If you're an FCRCC member, I highly recommend signing up for OC1 SBC, especially if Jackie comes back to coach in the winter.

want to learn fast, do something without an alma, Title: Re: FCRCC Youth Warcanoe now recruiting, Post by: Colossus on June 22, 2007, 07:17:44 PM I'd recommend you to go to adult flatwater though, I've been trying flatwater (k1) and it's a gas.

Title: Re: FCRCC Youth Warcanoe now recruiting, Post by: brainiac on June 23, 2007, 04:07:31 PM By all means kids should try war canoe or c15. It looks like a blast and I'd like to do it myself although I'm not quite in the right age category.
Check out the kids having fun in this picture from http://www.fcrcc.com/Programs/details.html (http://www.fcrcc.com/Programs/details.html): (http://www.fcrcc.com/Programs/images/war_canoe.jpg) My comment about k1 was really with respect to oc and db. Haven't really done any c1 myself. As for adults learning fast without the ama, sure why not. But only sign up if you're a decent swimmer because you will fall in the water and might have to swim a fair distance with your boat. Let's not be too arrogant or elitist about different types of boats please. I find it both hilarious and sad to hear oc paddlers dissing db'ers and flatwater paddlers dissing oc. Can't we all just get along? :-D Title: Re: FCRCC Youth Warcanoe now recruiting, Post by: Luke on June 23, 2007, 11:23:15 PM By all means kids should try war canoe or c15.
