LLREC 935 - Whitewater Kayaking: An Introduction

Despite its arid climate, Utah offers some of the most beautiful, fun, and challenging whitewater in the country. Join your instructor - a seasoned long-distance paddler, kayak guide, and self-proclaimed river rat - for an introduction to whitewater paddling. Participants will learn the proper equipment to bring on the river and how to prepare for a successful float. You'll learn about the common hazards found on moving water and how to avoid them. Participants will be taught basic safety techniques and what to do if your boat (or a fellow paddler's) overturns on the water.
