Synchronized launch
Check in at the launch shed, meet your sweep lead, and pick up assigned paddle blades sized to your seated torso height.
Every paddler receives a certified type III life jacket inspected for proper strap tension and buoyant rib snugness before leaving the gravel.
Review wind conditions, right-of-way channel rules, capsize protocols, and buddy-boat pairings in a clear ten-minute group huddle.
Enter tandem or crew craft from the low dock with partner bracing, push out together, and find your shared hull rhythm.
