Advanced Rough Water Clinic - October 19, 2024

  • Open Water Rowing Center 85 Liberty Ship Way #102 Sausalito, Ca, 94965 USA (map)

Learn and develop the skills necessary for rowing in challenging conditions. Join us on Saturday, October 19th for what is sure to be a super adventurous row!

What to expect:

A stronger current than usual! We’ll get a Max Flood of 3.26 KTS at 11:58 am. This means you’ll have to row faster than that to get out past the north tower of the Golden Gate. You may want to row a MAAS 24 or Flyweight to make that happen.

Our coach says: “It’s gonna be pretty washing machine-esque!” He also says it could very well be flat. One never knows what to expect from Mother Nature.

Because we’re starting later in the day it will be windier!

The day will begin at 10am with a talk from our coach about the day ahead. Bring your questions so we can have a dialogue about rowing in rough water conditions.

Prerequisites:

You have to be intermediate to advanced, taken a rough water clinic in the past or be approved by our staff.

There’s a decent chance of going swimming. You’re gonna get wet it’s a water sport. Let’s go have fun and play in the rough water!
