Hello you swimmin sturgeons >-000:)
The time has come to once again begin the rituals of fall paddling! We’re planning on paddling the upper and 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 – possible 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 upper and lower – 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 – counting on a 3ish hr lap?
What to Bring
– Kit! Helmet, PFD, Skirt, Paddle, Watercraft, throwbag if ur cool
– 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
