To truly enjoy the sport of SUP (Stand UP Paddling), we must look beyond what seems to be VERY simple and understand there are skills we need to learn. With proper skills, we can spend more time out on the water by using significantly less energy. Lastly, there is the safety element: how can we avoid injury when falling off and how to be effective in getting back on? Join 20-year veteran Canoecopia paddlesport instructor, Danny Mongno, as he demonstrates how to perform at your best on your Stand UP Paddleboard.

To truly enjoy the sport of kayak fishing, the angler must embrace the paddling side of it. With proper skills, we can spend more time out on the water by using significantly less energy. We can also move more effectively and quietly, positioning our boats for the perfect cast to unsuspecting fish. Lastly, there is the safety element, how do we avoid a flip and what to do when one occurs? Join 20-year veteran Canoecopia paddlesport instructor, Danny Mongno, as he demonstrates how to perform at your best when fishing from your kayak.

To truly enjoy the sport of kayaking we need to be more efficient in our strokes. The less energy we use, the longer we can stay out, the more fun we will have. A key element of efficiency in your paddling is making sure you have the proper design and fitted paddle. Join 20 year veteran Canoecopia presenter, Danny Mongno, as he explains all the aspects of selecting the perfect kayak paddle. Once everyone has their perfect paddle fit dialed in, he will spend the remainder of the class working on some exercises for you to take home and get you ready for the paddling season. Efficiency covered from all angles!

To enjoy the sport of paddling, we need an efficient forward stroke. We want to use less energy, stay out longer, maybe go faster, not be sore. So, it makes sense that the forward stroke gets so much attention from students and coaches. Join Danny, who has 12 Door County Sea Kayak Symposiums as a coach under his belt, as he breaks things down in a very easy-to-follow, step-by-step process. This is an interactive class, so be ready to participate and have fun. To wrap things up, Danny will send you off with exercises to do at home, to help develop your new techniques. (In this class we will address skills for kayakers, stand up paddlers, and canoeists.)
