2012 Dates - April 7 & 8, May 26 & 27, June 23 & 24, Sept 29 & 30,

 

Meet time: 10am (at the water)

Location: Where water levels are most appropriate

 

This multi-day class will introduce participants to the world of whitewater (ww) kayaking.  During Day-1 students will be introduced to their ww kayak, practice the wet-exit procedure, and begin learning bracing and rolling skills.  Day-2 (the long day) will consist of hitting the river and learning skills such as river reading, eddy turns, peel outs, upstream ferrying, surfing, identifying hazards, and more. 

 

Location for the Day-2 portion of class will vary depending on water levels.  Essentially we will “chase the water levels.”  Because the locations will vary, this means for some sessions we will run short sections of river, while other sessions we will “park & play” to work the most appropriate rapids for the scope of this class.  This also means that our class locations could be as close as 20 minutes, or as far as 2.5 hours away.      

 

The Intro to Whitewater Kayaking Class is often taken following our River Fundamentals class.  At minimum, registrants are required to have taken our Intro to Kayak Class or another outfitters equivalent class.  

 

$145/person for Calendar of Events sessions (dates above)
