THE TRADITIONAL PADDLERS GATHERING
Paddlers of all skill levels and experience are encouraged and welcome to attend. This is Minnesota's first "traditional" paddling event, and although we don't disallow the use of euro blades, we encourage you to try your hand with a traditional paddle. Many a person has been brought over to the "dark side" at this event! This is an excellent place to increase your paddling skills in all areas.... strokes, rolling, background knowledge, and specialized skills specific to "traditional" paddling. It's also the only kayak symposium in the Brainerd lakes area. Many of your Paddle Pusher buddies are a large part of the organization and mentorship at this event, and it also features mentors well known world wide.
It's also a LOT of fun.
