Elliott:

Harry Weidman of Seayaker Outfitters is based in New York State. He is going to do 1-1/2 hour instruction at the Newfound Rendezvous. Here is the description posted on our website:

Harry Weidman of Seayaker Outfitters will conduct two "Intro to Greenland Paddling Workshop" courses (Friday 3-4:30 pm and Saturday 9-10:30 am). Each will be 1.5 hrs long where a max of 8 folks would paddle in their own boats and be introduced to traditional Greenland paddle techniques. Greenland paddles will be supplied. It's a hands-on session for those paddlers who would like to try the style out and get personal instructions on how to best use the paddles. We aim to stay dry but some may encounter an aquatic learning experience.

Contact Harry Weidman directly at seayaker@seayaker.com.

Glad you got the kayak in the water!

Michael
