Intro to Whitewater Kayaking (earn Kayak Lake Rating!)
Monday, Jul 26, 2021 (3:00 pm - 5:00 pm)
Event Information
- Description
-
This is the first lesson to begin whitewater paddling! We will meet in front of the boathouse at Memorial Union at 3:00pm. We will cover equipment and safety then head to the lake to practice wet exits, strokes, and rescues. Be comfortable in the water (you will get wet!). I am very flexible with the time of this class. Let me know if you have any time conflicts and we can adjust accordingly.
Why: You will need this lesson, regardless of previous experience, to attend kayak trips with the club. By the end of the lesson, you will earn your R0/kayak lake rating which allows you to then take R1 lessons (slow, moving water).
Please bring:
- shoes that will stay on your feet when swimming. While I prefer closed-toed shoes, a sport sandal like Chacos will work as long as it has a sturdy sole and stays on.
- clothing that is appropriate for being in and out of the water frequently (bring warm-when-wet layers if it is cold or windy)
- a towel
- a change of dry clothing, including shoes if needed
- a bag to contain your wet stuff
As always, weather permitting.
