Greenland Paddling Event with Canny Paddlers & Chris Reed

What a fantastic weekend! The event kicked off with a fascinating talk from Chris about Greenland paddling — exploring paddle designs, sizes, and how to choose the one that suits you best.

We then hit the water for a session on forward paddling and turning, followed by lunch and an inspiring demo of static brace, sculling, and rolling techniques before pairing up to practice.

Day 2 started with a journey on the water, then more time perfecting braces, sculling, and rolling. Everyone made great progress — and had plenty of fun along the way!

Several paddlers went home as new Greenland paddle converts, with a few even picking up their own paddles. And those warm Transpire fleece base layers (with the event discount!) were definitely appreciated in the cold water and wind.

A huge thanks to Chris Reed and everyone who came along — what a brilliant weekend of learning, laughter, and paddling!

Looking forward to seeing Chris again at the Canny Paddlers Sea Kayak Symposium 2026.
