Full Name: Mark Niemann-Ross
Narrative: Those silly half-finished kayaks we affectionally call Canoes are a growing trend. Join me in a controlled space to practice assisted rescues when one boat is a canoe.

How do you perform a T-rescue with a canoe and a swamped kayak? How do you perform a T-rescue with two kayaks and a swamped canoe? How do canoeists re-enter a swamped canoe. This and many other mysteries will be explored.

Register to bring a canoe or a kayak. All are welcome and everyone will get wet.
