UNM Students - have you ever wanted to try kayaking, but didn't know
where to start? Now here's your chance! The Whitewater Weekend Getaway
Adventure program filled up in 4 days(!!) with a waiting list. There
was so much interest in kayaking, that we have chartered a UNM Kayak
Club, and are making plans to get a few boats, raise some funds for a
few trips, and share some good times together. There will be no formal instruction...
at the event (hence the name 'free-for-all'), but we will be playing
some fun games like Kayak Polo and learning the basics to have fun that
night. A nominal $10 charge goes to cover pool rental. Any remaining
proceeds will go to the UNM Kayak Club to purchase gear, fund future trips, etc. A
4hr "Intro to Kayak" class will be offered on Nov. 14 (Sunday) 8am -
12, for those who want formal instruction, to be able join us on future
trip. The
class is regularly $75, and includes all boats, gear and pool
rental. A special UNM price of $65 will be offered to
current students
and staff. If we get 8 or more students, New Mexico Kayak Instruction
will donate $15/person to the UNM Kayak Club. So, invite your friends,
classmates, roommates and facebook buddies. "Like" this to show your
freinds list the cool things you're up to!
Kayaking is a really great experience. It not only introduces the girls to a new skill but shows them they
can accomplish something they probably thought they would never be
capable of.

I took the Intro to Kayaking (level 1) class and it was GREAT. I'd actually done a
lot of different types of kayaking (touring, sea, whitewater), but had
never gotten any formal instruction. Wow, what a difference a few hours
makes. I learned a lot of technique that
I had been lacking. Kelly is a great instructor and I was impressed
with how efficiently the class was put together. He is passionate about
enabling people to participate in the sport that he loves. Definitely
recommend this class to anyone interested in learning to kayak!
