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!

Price:

$10.00 Before Tax

Thanks for the info and the good class. Even though I've owned recreational kayaks for many years, I learned far more than I ever knew before.

I have to say, Kelly covered EVERYTHING! I've taken this weekend class twice to absorb everything that goes into whitewater kayaking. Since my class, I've paddled on class III whitewater and felt like I had a great sense of what [maneuvers, compound strokes or techniques] to do, when to do it, how to do it, and why to do it! What Kelly teaches would be pretty much impossible for a self-taught paddler to figure out alone. I feel safer, and more confident each time I'm on the river with a foundation of strokes and concepts to practice outside of class, and most importantly, I feel in control on the water.
