Welcome to NH Kayak Skills.

This list-server was created in April, 2000 to facilitate communication among paddlers form various clubs around Southern NH. Sea kayaking is the main focus, but there is plenty for Touring, White Water and Recreational kayakers as well.

Spring Pool Sessions are organized every January to March by various people and in various locations around Southern NH. Summer Skills Sessions are offered weekly at Glen Lake in Goffstown and typically run from May through August each year. Skill sessions are held rain or shine and have been very well received during previous years. Skill Sessions teach basic safety, rescue methods, strokes bracing. Spare / loaner equipment is available for some of the programs so if you need something, just ask. List members are contacted thru this server with dates, times and locations of the various programs or for any changes that participants might need to know about. List members can also post questions, solicit advice and gather together other members for various trips and paddles.

There is no cost for the skills sessions, nor for membership to this group although membership to the ACA is strongly encouraged. Pool sessions are offered at a modest fee in order to cover rental costs. We are a group of local paddlers from the Southern NH / Northern MA area that want to combine resources so that we can increase our opportunities for practice and growth.

Cheers and welcome,

Jed
