Winter is dragging on, but the river is waiting.
Winter is dragging on, but the river is waiting. You’re likely dreaming of that first paddle—sun on your face, paddle in hand, leaving the noise behind.
But sometimes, life gets in the way. Maybe you’re worried about your fitness after a long winter, or the logistics just feel too complicated to organize.
At Grand Experiences, we believe getting on the water should be the easiest part of your summer. We handle the details so you can handle the paddle.
Here is your simple 3-step plan to get ready for the 2026 season:
Your plan to a pain-free first paddle
1. Keep Your Joints Loose
Don’t let the first paddle of the year surprise your muscles. Use these simple moves to stay river-ready this winter:
- Torso Twists: Rotate your spine while seated to keep your core mobile.
- Shoulder Pass-Throughs: Use a broomstick to stretch up and over your head.
- Grip Squeezes: Use a stress ball while watching TV to keep your forearms strong.
