Intermediate Kayaking, James River Through Richmond

OVERVIEW

Let’s spend Easter Sunday on the water! I’m going to church with my fam in Richmond, so let’s meet at the 14th Street take out at 1:30 to run the Lower.

The Lower James through Richmond is a short, Class III run with some fun play spots. You need to have a solid roll and good boat control to come on this trip, as it is a class III run and the water will still be cold.

The run we do may change depending on the water level. We might instead run the Upper James if the water stays high. I’ll make the decision Saturday night or Sunday morning and let y’all know

I’m waitlisting everyone at the moment; if I don’t know you and your ability, I’ll send you an email to check in on what your kayaking experience is, just for safety’s sake. (Its okay if I don’t know you, still sign up, I just want to make sure you’ve got the experience for this river since the water is chilly).

We will most likely stop at Legends afterwards for warm food and drinks, so bring some $$/id for this as well.

You provide: gear if you have it (5 essentials), lunch/snacks, towel, warm dry clothes for after, bathing suit/clothes that can get wet, non-cotton layers for kayaking, river shoes (closed toe preferable), $ for food at Legends

Club provides: gear if you need it, gas $$
