Crew-Ups As we did last year, and consistent with our current crew-up policy, other race or recreational crew-ups can be scheduled by a self-organized crew with a lead steers any time outside of regular club or race crew practice hours. Crew-ups must reserve boats in advance using Team Cowboy. We encourage groups to be as inclusive as possible. Special Clinics Pool huli drills are tentatively set for April 21 and May 18. HROCC will also hold more in-basin and on-river huli drills and remount practices throughout the season so that members can safely learn in real-world conditions. We have plans for several other fun and exciting clinics over the season – stay tuned! Racing Team Summary of comments received:

In the spirit of Ohana... HROCC encourages and expects continuous learning about the sport of paddling. Like most things, the more you learn about paddling, the more you realize how much you have yet to learn! The language, roles and spirit of paddling will come up every day you paddle.
