Staying home and staying healthy doesn’t mean you have to stay completely away from all things paddling related. You just need to approach and think about paddling differently.There are lots of paddling related activities that you can do from home:
Yoga to increase your flexibility and strength
Body weight exercises or exercises using your boat for weight
Check and repair your boat and all your gear
Organize and restock your first aid kit and rescue kit
Tune up the transport and storage systems for your boat
Go through your paddling gear: repair damaged gear, donate gear you’re not using
Practice what you can on land. Tie knots, develop navigational skills, or practice z-drags and mechanical advantage using your furniture or trees in your yard
Review maps, and guidebooks – daydream about new places to paddle
If you’re an instructor:
Work on your lesson plans and review course materials
Dive into the ACA Course Management System (CMS)
Practice your presentations
Use online resources to strengthen your paddling knowledge
