Kayak Roll Practice

OVERVIEW

Some local kayakers have taken it upon themselves to rent out part of the Waynesboro YMCA for Kayak Roll practice. The first session is on Sunday 1/22 from 1-3 PM.
Whether you are an experienced kayaker or just a beginner kayaker just looking for some pool time and perhaps a new paddling buddy, check out these roll sessions.
These sessions are unstructured, providing plenty of time to practice various skills at your own pace. There is no formal instruction. However, there should be plenty of people on hand who are happy to demonstrate and provide assistance. If you want help with your roll, or boat control just ask someone.

PREREQS:
I’m going to give priority to those who have experience: Which would be having at least attended one of Dave Clark’s or someone else’s intro session at Walnut creek, and/or be proficient at wet exiting a kayak and T-rescues.
If resources permit – I’ll open it up to people who have never been in a whitewater boat, and will teach the Wet exit / T-rescue, etc. Signup regardless of your level of experience, and indicate your experience in the Q/A.

CLUB PROVIDES: a ride in a vehicle, and any gear you may need.
YOU PROVIDE: Bathing suit & Towel. Your own personal kayaking gear – but make sure it is clean, remove any float bags from the boat and wash/vacuum it out such that it is free of sand, stinkbugs, and other debris!

ATTENDANCE/COST/PAYMENTS:
The cost for these sessions is $10, Please send it to me in advance via paypal.com, or some other timely method – Indicate in the Q&A if you wish to utilize paypal – and I’ll send instructions.
If there is any doubt that you will be able to attend, please do not sign up! If you bail the day of, not only are you potentially depriving others of a spot, but you may be causing excess gear to be checked out and lugged around on your behalf (which is annoying at the least for no-shows).

I’ve set the trip departure time for 12:00, this should give sufficient time to get participants properly outfitted in the parking lot such that you can actually spend the entire 2 hours utilizing the pool! I’ll expand the trip as drivers sign up. Yes we’ll be back early enough for you to make it to the game.

The trip may get canceled for low attendance, I will let you know if that is the case.
