Women’s Group Paddle Fitness Class with Michelle at Yale Park 6pm July 17th 

Women’s Group Paddle Fitness Class with Michelle at Yale Park

This week’s Paddle-Fit Class will be held at The Yale Boat Launch. Gorgeous views of Mt St Helens, amazing underwater old growth forest, and a pretty country drive on the way up. This is a ski lake with a high wind rating, and rougher waters. With the high winds and wakes from boaters, this locations programming will be focused on paddle technique, teaching the paddlers how to maintain direction & power down for speed & distance. Class always begins with paddle adjustment, how to get on the board, technique on how to stand up, paddle technique & turning, and then we hit the water! Once we are all on the boards, the group will get a few minutes to free paddle & get comfortable. Then we get down to business, as we set out to our destination, a small island, where we rest and explore a bit before heading back. This is a distance paddle, the workout is the work!

Classes tend to run about 1.5 hours long, give or take a few based on weather conditions & wind rating that day.
