Intro to White Water Kayaking – Learning the Basics on a Lake

OVERVIEW

The title says it all. We’ll spend a couple of hours on Sunday learning the basic skills you’ll need to paddle a white water kayak through the good stuff. We’ll go over the wet exit, paddling techniques, T-rescues, and the Eskimo roll. No prior experience necessary. This class is a pre-requisite for my beginner river trips.

I’m setting the trip size to 6, since that is how many boats I can carry. I can expand the trip if people with cars who do not mind driving sign up. Also, if there is a long enough waitlist, I may run an afternoon class sometime next week…

The Club provides: boats, paddles, spray skirts, pfds, helmets/noseplugs

You should bring: swimwear, towel, change of clothes, sunscreen, water, snacks
