LLREC 777 - Kayaking Made Easy

Itching to kayak the San Rafael, San Juan, or other Western river but want to get your skills down first? Inflatable kayaks are a great way to learn how to paddle. Sturdy and forgiving, these craft allow beginners to feel comfortable on the river and advance quickly with their paddling skills. This introductory class will provide students with training in river safety, paddling strokes, reading whitewater, river rescue, and learning about and caring for inflatable kayaking equipment. Please join us for a fun day of paddling on the Weber River, just 45 minutes from SLC. This class I to II stretch of river is of appropriate challenge for new paddlers. Small rapids and rock gardens will provide us with plenty of opportunity to practice our paddling skills. Students are responsible for their boat and gear rental, please reserve early. Inflatable kayaks and all related gear can be rented as a package from REI and others ($25 single; $30 tandem). Class is limited to 12.
