“I don't think you've ever had a group come away happier from a class than our group was that night! We went back to my place, and we all critiqued ourselves and each other so we would remember what to remind each other of.  Then we watched tons of video footage as we tried to relate what we had learned to watching other paddlers running the gnar.  Every one of us felt that we had learned a ton, and that it had really increased our confidence.  People kept walking around the house going "What an AWESOME day"
