Sea Sherpa Kayak is holding the Polar Paddle Practicum for the 5th year in a row. One-of-a-kind, paddle action figure John Carmody is re-joining Gerry Polinsky on the coach staff. Part instructional, part exploratorium. Paddlers will work in similarly experienced pods allowing all to push within their comfort zones. The primary focus will be on personal skills, splitting time between coaching and "having at it". There will also be opportunity to work conditions forecasting and trip planning. South coast Maine is fantastically beautiful and is sadly underutilized by the open water paddle community. The area between Wells and Cape Elizabeth offers classic nautical Maine scenery and is filthy with fantastic rock gardening & surf options, lighthouses and lobster boats. Participants will be staying together in a centrally located, historic mansion with a fully outfitted kitchen. Appropriate skill level is modest to advanced intermediate open water paddlers. For further details on logistics and prices, go to PPP 5.0 or contact gerry at sea sherpa kayak dot com. This is a really fun, productive event and a great way to kick start your paddle season. We hope to see you there.

SEA SHERPA KAYAK: OPEN WATER SKILLS DEVELOPMENT WEEKEND May 19 & 20 This two day custom program is geared towards paddlers with rudimentary active water experience. Sneaking in under the wire of Labor Day means easier traffic, minimal power boats and wide open venues. This is your chance to kick start your open water paddle season. There are 1 and two day options. This intimate event features individualized instruction. That means there won't be a pre set itinerary and all paddlers will get to work on what they want and need. Paddle venues could include shore sure surf, rock gardening and/or tide races Check out the gory details at http://seasherpakayak.com/event/open-water-skills/. Disclaimer: This is a brandy new site. Some copy is still sketchy and some events are yet to be posted. Hope to see you on the water soon, Gerry Gerry at Sea Sherpa Kayak dot com
