• The role of the caller

• Steers people

Don’t worry, you won’t be steering in the pictured Hawaiian waters in this clinic, but every steersperson’s journey starts here, with a solid introductory course. So many paddlers start steering by being thrown in the back of a canoe to sink or swim. Learn real skills to set you up to develop quicker and more effectively. Consider, also, learning to steer is not just for those who yearn to be a steersperson.
