Change to this Saturday's Morning Fitness Training

With Olympian and Coach Clint Robinson coming over to WA to do some coaching sessions this weekend we thought it would be a good opportunity for our Saturday morning fitness paddlers and others to have the chance to be coached by such a high profile and experienced paddler. These chances don't come up very often.

We will still have our usual 4km race and instead of doing our general training Clint will commence with the clinic straight after.
There will be NO charge for our usual race, only for the clinic.

You don't need to be a top paddler to take part in this clinic, this is for everyone. If you paddle on a Saturday, a Monday night, at a club or you are doing the Avon Descent, this clinic is for you.

At a cost of $50.00 for two hours it is well worth the investment.

Clint has been to 5 different Olympics 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, & 2008 and won gold, silver and bronze medals.

Don't miss this opportunity.

I strongly encourage you to grab this opportunity and take part.

$50.00 for two hours - Sandy Beach, Bassendean, 21st June

Starts at 8.00am and finishes at 10.00am

Booking Essential 08 9378 1333 or terry@canoeingdownunder.com.au

Clint is still paddling competitively. In the recent 52km Molokai Challenge, recognized as the World Surf Ski Championship, Clint was second only 23 seconds behind Hank McGregor (RSA): 3:35:17, Clint Robinson (Aus): 3:35:40. Clint was the defending champion and had won the race three times before.

CLINT ROBINSON PADDLING CLINIC

"Understanding How to Utilise Your Equipment in Connection with Your Body is the Most Important Aspect to Paddle Sports"

This Saturday from 8.00am, 21st June at Sandy Beach Reserve, West Road, Bassendean we are offering a Beginner to Intermediate Paddling Clinic straight after the 4km race. Terry and I are very keen to give people the opportunity to understand the key areas that help each individual move their boat efficiently to improve their paddling.

The Clinic is aimed at helping each paddler understand 3 critical areas of paddle sports which will help each individual "improve stability, develop proper body rotation for boat speed and how to correctly utilise the modern day paddle that the majority of paddlers use".

The Clinic will go for 2 hours and work through a number of areas that I will illustrate to the group whilst paddling in the boat for the session and assist each person to perform.

For only $50 per person, you will be given a complete understanding of the proper paddling stroke which will give everybody areas for them to move forward with after the session.

To register your interest, please contact Terry Bolland from Canoeing Down Under on 08 9378 1333 or email at terry@canoeingdownunder.com.au
