Cheri Perry and her partner Turner of Kayak Ways will be conducting a two-day workshop on Greenland Paddling and Rolling techniques on June 28-29, in Beverly, MA (Dane Street Beach).
I took this workshop last year and it was absolutely awesome, they are both are very knowledgeable Greenland paddlers (Turner is working with Gearlab people on their paddle designs, among other things) as well as excellent coaches. I learned a lot, and wanted to repeat it, so I asked Cheri and Turner to bring the workshop to the North Shore this summer, so both myself and other NSPN members could learn more about this.
THE PARTICIPATION IS LIMITED TO 8 PEOPLE AND THE PRICE IS $495 PER PARTICIPANT (that includes a substantial fee that needs to be paid to Beverly Recreation Department for using their facilities). The Workshop will run from 8:30 to 4:30 on both days. In my opinion, this workshop is well worth the price.
Please respond in comments if you are interested in attending or have any questions about this workshop, alternatively you could reach directly to Cheri Perry at [email protected]
Thank you,
