Ladies Kayaking Skills Clinic: Step up to Class III on Saturday, October 14
Instructor: Whitney MacIntyre, Wet Planet Kayak Instructor
Date: Saturday, Oct 14
Spend the morning on the Lower White Salmon working on skills, then after lunch, you’ll have the option to take those skills and apply them on the Middle White Salmon. The afternoon portion of the class is “challenge by choice.” It is entirely reasonable to only participate in the first half of the course, and/or to make your decision about running the MWS that day.
This course is a great fit for people who currently feel they have the skills to tackle Class III whitewater, but often don’t because they don’t know how to approach more complex rapids and /or don’t have the support network to feel comfortable pushing harder.
This course is for women paddlers only. The student to teacher ratio will be 5:2, with one lead instructor, a safety boater and no more than five students.
The class is sponsored by the Lower Columbia Canoe Club (LCCC), Oregon Kayak and Canoe Club (OKCC), and PDX Girl Paddlers.
Once students have registered for this course, you will be asked more about your specific learning objectives and the course will be tailored to student preferences. Generally you can expect to work on growing more confident in your ability to: maneuver your boat, catch eddies, and ferry across fast moving currents.
Maximum # of participants: 5
Cost: $25
