Many of you have taken our Basic, Essentials of River Kayaking class. Many of you have not taken the class but have some experience.

This class is only open to people who have taken the basic course or who have paddling experience..

THIS CLASS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS!

We will be paddling the section of the Hooch from Buford Dam to Settles Bridge. We will be concentrating on boat control in moving water. We will be spending a lot more time learning how to perfect Eddy Turns, Peel Outs and Ferrying. All of these skills are essential if you have any desire to move up to white water paddling. Even if you have no desire to paddle anything over a class II, these skills will certainly come in handy and make you feel a lot more comfortable anytime you are on the water. Everyone in this class will be out of your boat in water over your head to practice safely re-entering your boat so you will be getting wet for sure. We will also introduce the use of a throw rope and how to move through fast water when out of your boat. You will have a chance to swim a class II rapid.

Yes, the water is cold, but you will never be in it for more than a few minutes, and you will come out feeling so refreshed!

In addition, if you are thinking about buying a boat, I will have several different models with me and we will switch around so you can all paddle something different. I should have a Liquid Logic XP by class day for you to try out. The Cadillac of the new family of "Cross over" boats.

If you have any questions, please call me.
