Peer-to-Peer Skills Series: Bracing and Sculling at Fort Road in South Portland, ME on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.
For this session of our weekly practice series, we plan to practice the high brace, low brace, and sculling techniques, as well as refine any other techniques you'd like to improve. These sessions are being coordinated by various folks from the Skill Building Team at SMSKN, with this one coordinated by Cheri Perry and other members of the Skills Team, participants are encouraged to share their own knowledge and experience with other paddlers so that we all learn from and support each another. Here are some online video links that demonstrate some of the skills we'll be practicing.
