An Evening with NRS, featuring Canoecopia’s room filling presentation, "Understanding the Forward Stroke" by Danny Mongno: NRS Product & Field Marketing Manager and industry legend.
A Bit About Danny:
"Since my initial introduction to paddling in 1988, it has remained a favorite past time. Rafting is awesome, especially for multi-day trips. I SUP race, tour and run whitewater. I fish from a kayak, run rapids and love to play in the ocean. I’ve even done some canoe racing! Best of all I get to enjoy paddling with my best friend, my wife Celeste, and our awesome dog Teddy." Danny Mongno comes to us from our friends at NRS. When not on the water, you’ll find Danny out for a hike or bike ride, strapped into a snowboard, at the trailhead, or at a favorite hangout of paddlers... the bar stool.
“Understanding The Forward Stroke. Let's be Efficient.”
To enjoy the sport of paddling we need an efficient Forward Stroke. We want to use less energy, stay out longer, maybe go faster, not be sore. So, it makes sense that the Forward Stroke gets so much attention from students and coaches a like. Join Danny Mongno, with 30+ years of paddle sports coaching experience, as he breaks things down in a very easy to follow, step-by-step process. This is an interactive class, so be ready to participate and have fun. To wrap things up, Danny will send you off with exercises to do at home, to help develop your new techniques.
