Wausau Whitewater Release May 12(13), 2018

If you are certain you can go and wish to sign up, please email me and make sure to let me know if you can drive people and/or boats. (...and how many total of each, including you.)

I'd like to drive up for the May 12 Wausau recreational release! Wausau is a great training/practice spot for whitewater paddling and to meet other whitewater enthusiasts from the region. Folks bring whitewater kayaks and whitewater canoes. Read the details at the link below.

I will drive up early (departure at 7:00am) on Saturday morning May 12. Other WW2 leaders may choose to lead/paddle for the entire weekend.

An R3p rating and standard swim test are required. (A few R2 paddlers may be permitted based on experience.) Solid boat control and a reliable roll are important pre-requisites for this course. Participation is at the leaders' discretion.

WW2+ leaders, please let me know your availability.

Remember, proper whitewater kayaking equipment and attire (no cotton) are required, including a helmet. Leaders will carry rescue gear (e.g., throw ropes). As a club event, we stick together and watch out for each other during the day. Nobody paddles alone.

Bring plenty of cash to pay your driver for gas, and bring money for the course fee and for food.

There are waivers you must sign (also at the link above).

See you there!
