Dr. Adriana Manikian, a Bellevue ER physician will talk about physiological responses to cold water immersion. Randy will give a talk on the risks of cold water paddling and strategies for managing the risks through planning, technique, equipment and clothing. You are then invited to test your cold water paddle clothing in a supervised environment. If you have cold water equipment bring it along to test it. We will also have several drysuits and a few Henderson Trilaminates for people to try. If you participate in this part of the workshop you will be required to sign a special waiver and agree to follow all instructions given by the supervisors. People who plan to get into the water will be required to bring a towel, warm dry clothes to change into, and a hot beverage in a thermos. Sleeping bags will not be required, but are suggested This workshop is open to local sea kayakers - all are welcome. New York Kayak Company is donating the equipment and their time.
