Sunset Raggedy Roll Session/ Intro Paddling – New Member Priority

OVERVIEW

Come join John, Will, and I for some quality time at Ragged Mountain Reservoir. This trip is an introduction to whitewater kayaking and the kayak roll. Rolling a kayak means returning to an upright position after flipping upside down all the while staying IN THE BOAT. Although this trip is on flatwater, the skills are fundamental to getting out on the river! Any level of experience is welcome but the instruction will be tailored to beginners. You must be able to swim in a PFD to attend this trip. NEW MEMBERS and beginners will get priority off the waitlist. Why not spend some time upside-down in local water that has been described by reputable sources as “sweet” “delicious” and “the perfect temperature especially for drinking”??
