STORM GATHERING USA • NORDIC TOUR • ANTARCTICA
At the time of writing this, Storm Gathering USA is just one month away! We are thrilled to have so many paddlers coming from out of the area to play in our home waters. Registration continues through the end of February, but classes are filling fast, so for the best class selection, register soon! The event has top notch coaches, including Justine Curgenven, who will presenting Friday night on "Kayaking the Aleutians." Click HERE for a teaser. Friday night's beer will be provided by an awesome event sponsor, Kokatat.
Ben Lawry is hosting Saturday night's entertainment, which includes a lively slideshow, a social gathering, a raffle and beer provided by another awesome event sponsor, Thule. There are a couple of surprises in the works for that evening, so stay tuned. We are very excited about this event, and hope that you'll join us for it.
After the Storm Gathering, we have classes scheduled in the UK, and then Helen heads to Charleston, South Carolina for the East Coast Paddlesports & Outdoor Festival. She'll then be at the Paddle Marathon Laguna Bacalar 2015 in Bacalar, Mexico then heading to Lodi, California for some rolling and rescue classes. After all that, our Rebel Kayaks supported Nordic Tour begins.
This year's tour is bigger and better than ever, and we have classes scheduled in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. We are very excited to be back for another tour, and look forward to seeing all of our Scandinavian friends again. Click HERE for more details of our 2015 tour schedule.

Helen's Mentoring Madness
With Storm Gathering USA coming up next month, we have had symposiums on our mind both night and day. There's a lot to do, and a lot to think about.
One of the main factors that goes in to organizing a symposium is who should teach what. Most coaches excel in teaching certain types of classes, but most don't excel in teaching every type of class. A nice thing about symposiums is the wide range of skills that the instructors are able to present as a team.
We believe that everyone; beginners, intermediate paddlers, advanced paddlers and instructors can benefit from taking a class or two at a symposium. Not only are classes fun, but no matter where your skill level is at, it's always possible to take it up a notch or two. We are thrilled to have such a strong coaching team at the event hat not only coach, but also enjoy being coached.
