Florida Freestyle Symposium

It's finally official. The 2nd annual Florida Freestyle Symposium will be held March 18th through the 21st. The location will be the Florida State College campus in Yulee, just outside of Jacksonville.

We've switched to the long format for this event as opposed to the weekend format used last year. The feedback I received was that people liked the long format better as it allowed for more practice time, special topics classes and an overall more relaxed atmosphere.

Registration/sign in will be on Friday afternoon, main classes on Sat., Sun., and Monday mornings. Special topics classes will be offered on Sat. and Sun. afternoons.

As the organizer, I will not be arranging any pre or post symposium trips. There were offers by several attendees last year to do just that and I'm certain there will be ample opportunities. This forum would be an excellent place for anyone wishing to organize a trip to do so.

Additional information and all necessary forms are available on the Freestyle website, www.freestylecanoeing.com .

The deadline to register (without a late fee) for the Florida FreeStyle Symposium is January 31st. It's shaping up to be a great event with lots of instruction from basics to advanced. Most of the countries top instructors have signed on. We've improved the meal offerings and the afternoon enrichment classes.
