All clinics start at the MassDPW yard, just off the "Green Bridge" in the center of Huntington.

Paddling clinics are run by some of the area's finest racers and consist of a short discussion of safety, equipment, and technique followed by guided runs down the entire 8-mile course. The clinics are low key and low-pressure with the goal of increasing paddlers' confidence and control. Open to novice and intermediate paddlers.
