Kayaking (Whitewater)
Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
James River - Richmond
Richmond offers a unique white water run with its class 3 rapids and skyline in the background. We’ll run this section of the James as it flows alongside downtown Richmond with some class 2, 3 and 1 short rapid that some call a class 4 – area famous Hollywood Rapid. In order to be qualified for this trip you must have taken the intro trip with me or Dave or have similar experience, have lots of prior river experience in at least class 2 rapids, and have a decent flat water roll. So that I can screen your experience, and to make sure I have at least 1 driver, you will be added to the waitlist upon joining, then I will move you to the trip list if appropriate. If you have any questions please contact me via email at joseph.e.thompson@gmail.com or cell at (540) 239-1107. Depending on timing and interest, there may be a stop at Legends Brewpub on the way home. They’re open till 10 on Sundays!
