Tri-Loppet Training with Rice Creek Boat Club

Calling all aspiring paddlers! Want to sign up for the UCare Tri-Loppet but would like to refine your paddling technique? Or maybe you've had your eye on those Hoigaard's Paddle Derbies. Or maybe you're wondering if stand up paddle-boarding is really that similar to double poling. 

Whatever your reason, come join the Rice Creek Boat Club on Long Lake in New Brighton starting in July! Our second summer session begins July 11. Programs last six weeks and cover a variety of paddling styles (canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, surf skiing). There are programs for ADULTS AND JUNIORS, some at the same time, so do something for yourself this summer, sign up, and bring your teenager with you. 

Paddling makes for excellent cross training for nordic skiing, and let's face it, it's fun to be on a lake in the summer. Total beginners welcome, as well as those looking for racing experience. We have incredible coaches, including Kate Ellis, Jeff DuBois, Devin Arenz, Io Harberts, Emily Johnson, Claire DuBois, and many more dedicated paddlers looking to welcome people to this sport.
