Today was the first of a three day class I'm taking at the conference. It is being given by a training company from CA called Aqua 7. In this class we are learning about using PWC's (jet ski's) as a rescue water craft (RWC) in a river environment.
While not the perfect do-all water craft, it is a very valuable tool.
After a half day of lecture, we got out on the water to run through a few skills, namely a slalom course around a series of bouys.
We started out running the course individually, then with a partner who was seated backwards and not holding on with their hands.
From there we moved on to running the course standing on one side, then ran the course again standing on the opposite side.
That followed with two on each side of the seat.
All of these runs were done for time. The goal was to build balance and a comfort level for operating.
Unfortunatley the video of the day didn't turn out very well.
