This is a good to know class. If you intend to take the Rescue Three International WRT or SWRT course through us (taught by our Wavetrek staff) or with UPS (taught by Sierra Rescue) this clinic will serve as a good introduction.
The certifying courses go far beyond the scope of this clinic and teach a variety of skills that all paddlers should know. However for those with no prior technical rescue experience the certifying classes can introduce more skills then can be mastered in a short period of time.
The purpose of this clinic is to familiarize paddlers with some of the techniques and skills that will be covered in depth in classes they may take later (primarily knot tying and simple mechanical advantage). It also provides an opportunity for those who already have these skills to practice them (building mechanical systems MUST be muscle memory or it will do you no good).
