The time is upon us to dust off our kayaks from the long winter and once again begin the rituals of spring (ok maybe still sort of winter) paddling! We’re planning on paddling the lower falls of the James with rapids ranging from class I-III. This trip is geared towards semi-confident class III paddlers and above who are looking to brush off some cobwebs and gear up for the paddlin’ season. These people have:
a) paddled class III whitewater somewhat recently (within past year or two)
b) have or are working on a solid kayak roll
If you have any questions about whether this is you please please please contact me at the number below!
The Plan:
Saturday Afternoon/Evening – If you need whitewater gear we can meet you at the whitewater lockers and grab some stuff for ya. you will be contacted
Sunday Morning pre-10am – likely bodos run?! you will be contacted with details
10am – meet at echols with our gear
– drive to 14th st. takeout in richmond and set shuttle
– paddle ze lower (maybe twice?! if we are feeling up for it)– munch lunch on the way?
– take out, reset shuttle and head back to cville to eat more food tbh
– 5 should hopefully be the latest we get back?
What to Bring
– Kit! Helmet, PFD, Skirt, Paddle, Watercraft, throwbag if ur cool, DRY GEAR (dry top ext.. tell us what ya have and we’ll grab more stuff to keep you nice and cozy if needed)
– a lunch/snacks? water for sure
– a bag to stuff dry if you’re into that
– change of clothes and towel if you’re into that
– money for food maybe
If you don’t have some of those things, that’s ok. Just let us know and we’ll make sure you get em.
Please let us know if you can drive/transport boats!
