NYCkayaker Free Cold Water Paddling Workshop on Saturday, Oct. 14

[Randall Henriksen]

New York Kayak Company is presenting a free Cold Water Paddling 
Workshop in the classroom next to our store on the south side  of Pier 
40 Saturday  morning at 11:00 AM. If you intend to continue paddling as 
the air and water temperatures drop, or if you hope to get an early 
start in the spring, please join us for information that will enhance 
your comfort and safety.

Bellevue ER physician Dr. Kaidi Fullerton will present a talk on cold 
water immersion and hypothermia. Nick Dyslin from Kokatat will discuss 
kayak clothing for all temperatures. (Nick is also the rep for Lendal 
paddles and will be available to discuss paddle styles and sizing - he 
will have the new Pad-lock Wing paddles with him.) I will give a short 
talk on risk management for cold water paddlers. Participants with then 
have an opportunity to demo a drysuit IN THE WATER! If you have any 
questions or concerns about how to identify the hazards posed by 
off-season paddling and how to manage the risks that they pose - please 
join us for this very popular event.

Hope to see you!
