The best rescue is the one that never had to happen! Having a roll is great, but not capsizing in the first place is even better. Alder Creek has expanded and improved one of it’s most popular classes. Every paddler on the water should take the Edging and Bracing class. Edging and Bracing are crucial skills for paddlers of all levels. It is also a critical building block on the way to a solid roll.
