Fun Sunday Rivanna River SUPing

OVERVIEW

Is this last minute? Yes. Did I steal the description from a previous trip I went on? Also yes. Will it be fun? Absolutely.

Join me (Jack) for an epic day of SUPing this Sunday!!

Together, we’ll check out a 4ish mile section of the Rivanna, which has a few class 1-2 rapids scattered throughout. It may be a little boney given the recent lack of rain (I was sort of hoping for some today), but regardless, it should be a fun day of splashing around, chatting, and paddling!

Another driver will be needed, so you’ll get priority off the waitlist! No gas reimbursement because the trip is nearby, but I will give you a heartfelt thank you. Also, the trip capacity is at 3 participants because we’re not certain what shape the paddleboards are in, but if you have your own paddleboard to bring on the trip, we’ll happily add an extra spot to the trip for you!

The plan:
9:30am – Meet in the Shrackyard (Shrack backyard, 116 Washington Avenue) and grab paddleboards and life jackets
9:45am – Drive to Riverview Park
10am – Set shuttle and inflate paddleboards
10:30am – Get on the water
Sometime between 1pm and 1:30pm – Get off the water, pack up paddleboards, grab other car, and head towards Shrack aiming to be back around 2pm

What to bring:
– Clothes that you’re okay getting wet! Maybe a swimsuit, maybe shorts and a T-shirt
– Suitable river shoes that will not come off in the water: chacos, keens, sneakers (please not crocs)
– A towel
– A change of clothes if you desire
– Water (and snacks if you want)
– Sunscreen
– A drybag for your stuff and a carabiner to attach it to the board if you want

While this should be fairly chill, I’m requiring everyone to be comfortable on a paddle board and a confident swimmer so that we hopefully don’t run into any problems. Everyone will also be required to at least have a life jacket on their board, if not worn on their body.
