Goal Setting at Keeners

Goal setting is an extremely important aspect of kayaking because it is the only way you will ever improve your skills and become a better paddler. Even the best of the best kayakers have ways they could improve their skills and set goals.
 The purpose of goal setting however is not to set an unreachable goal such as learning an airscrew if you have never surfed a wave before but something more attainable and specific such as learning how to cycle on a wave so you can progress towards bigger tricks.

The best goals may not even be to get an airscrew on Corner Wave or get a spin at S-bend. The best goals are ones that are specific such as improving your edge to edge transfer for a blunt or roundhouse, or about remembering to throw your body under you in an airscrew instead of out to the side. The point of goal setting is to make you work for something but also to reward you for achieving your goal so you can work towards your next one.
