Lot’s ‘O Fun @ Half Moon Bay Clinic

Tuesday, April 11, 2006

Half Moon Bay Kayak Clinic was another Great One! We had a blast in Half Moon Bay this past Sunday, April 9th. California Canoe & Kayak always puts on a great show in Half Moon Bay! I even got to jump up on stage with my harmonicas, as John Lull invited me to play with him at the local pub that evening! I was a bit concerned about all the rain us soggy Californians have been slogging around in for the class tho. From my standpoint, not a big deal for paddling, but YES a big deal for Mark Burk my videographer! He was undaunted tho, and Low & Behold...The Weatherman Was WRONG! NOAH Weather called for 70% chance of showers, but we ended up paddling in (some) Sunshine instead! Looking forward to seeing those of you who are coming to the San Diego May 6 & 7th Clinics. Always a blast down there too! Cheers, b

Forward Stroke Kayak Clinic in Half Moon Bay Tomorrow! Hi All, just a reminder that I will be teaching in Half Moon Bay tomorrow, April 9. Let's hope that the wildly wet winter here in Northern California will give us a short reprieve for tomorrow's video session. I look forward to seeing you all sometime during this season. I believe there may be a single spot remaining in the class tomorrow. Check my "Clinic's Page" above for the link to California Canoe and Kayak's website in order to sign up. Cheers and have fun! brent

San Diego Kayak Clinics Cancelled...Darn! Here's wishing everyone down in SUNNY San Diego a GREAT Sea Kayak Symposium this weekend! I regret, that do to family health matters, I will not be able to attend. As a side note to my previous entry; today my father and I fly home from SUCCESSFUL Open Heart Surgery # 2! All is well, and he's doing much better than he has over the entire past year! Once again, I'm sorry that I am missing such a FUN event. Jen and the Crew of Aqua Adventures always throw a GREAT PARTY...(oh yeah, ya learn lots of stuff too)...and I sure wish you all "The Best in The Sun" this weekend! Cheers, brent

Open Heart Surgery for Dad: Training, Teaching and Normal Life are on hold for a bit just now. I am currently in Rochester MN at The Mayo Cliinc. My Dad, Sister and I are here to get Dad a new heart valve. Surgery is tentitively scheduled for Tuesday...The Beat Goes On.

Canoecopia was Fantastic as usual. I spoke to over 300 folks about the Magic of "The Forward Stroke". Five yrs ago, none of my contempories would have believed that standing-room only audiences would care two-shakes about this most basic movement. I LOVE it! Cheers to all, Brent
