Puakea x Danny Ching Gorge Downwind Safety Clinic 2024

What this clinic includes:
Join us for a discussion clinic on the paramount importance of safety while paddling on the waters of the Columbia River Gorge. This unique event is for everyone from beginning paddlers to seasoned surfers. Learn invaluable insights and best practices from personal experiences of the coaches.

This camp will start with a lively discussion with lots of time for question and answers and demonstrations in the lagoon. Then time permitting, a lap around with the sternwheeler!

- Able to paddle for 2 hours in one session.
- Comfortable swimming in open ocean/downwind conditions.
- Notify Puakea Designs and Coaches of any medical condition that could affect your ability to perform at the paddling camp. Please let us know in the form we will send out to camp registrants.

Campers must wear a PFD and leash during the on-water sessions of this camp. Location of each session will depend on the weather and our session goals.
