Performance Paddling is the art and science of maximizing efficiency, especially in the forward stroke. Efficiency increases speed, adds endurance, and reduces fatigue compared to poor technique.

The course also includes the latest drills and techniques developed by Oscar Chalupsky, 12 time World Open Ocean Champion.
