On the annual training trip lots of very experienced people put a lot (well some, in between beers) of effort into producing a talk on some aspect of paddling. Due to the nature of training trip, not everyone is able to go on it and not everyone that goes is able to see every talk.
So to pass on that information to the widest possible audience, here is a list of the materials from some of the past talks given, please note however that not every talk is shown below and not everything covered in those talks will be in the linked material.
