Rules of Base Club
1st RULE: The first rule of Base Club is, you do not talk about Base Club. 2nd RULE: The second rule of Base Club is, you DO NOT talk about Base Club. 3rd RULE: If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out, the base building session is over and we return to Kirribilli. 4th RULE: You will get the most out of Base Club by having your drink system set up such that you can paddle the entire session non-stop. 5th RULE: One paddler to an OC1. 6th RULE: The sessions will be predominately at L2 with the occasional speed effort to sharpen technique. 7th RULE: Session duration will progressively increase each week. In the 4th or 5th week it will reduce to allow for recovery. 8th RULE: No shirts, no shoes and I guarantee you’ll freeze your butt off. 9th RULE: Base Club sessions will be structured such that paddlers of varying speeds can stick together. 10th RULE: If it is your first session at Base Club you will build base. |

I only recently completed the OC1 Intro Course. Is Base Club for me?
Very much so. Low intensity Level 2 sessions are perfect for improving your balance skills and OC1 technique. They’re also a great way to check out the fantastic waterways that surround us!
