Whitewater Fever
4 Session Whitewater Kayaking Class
The four sessions include 2 lake sessions and 2 full river days. During which we'll practice eddy turns, peel outs, ferrying, river reading skills, wet exits, and self rescue techniques. After this class you will have the basic grasp on how to run class 2 rivers. It is best to stay on class 2 until you can catch every eddy and make every ferry. After that you can move up to 2+ and easy 3.
Which river we go to depends on flow. For the June class it is typically held at the Green River at Flaming Geyser State Park or the Snoqualmie River (Powerhouse) just below the falls. In July it is almost always held on the Snoqualmie River (Powerhouse).
Format: Wednesday evening and Thursday evening on Lake Union from 6pm-8:30pm, Saturday and Sunday on the river.
Cost: $399 Includes boat, suit & gear.
Students for this class must be 17 years of age or older.
