Trip Description:
Come learn the basics skill of rolling a kayak! Mastery of this skill opens up a whole world of whitewater and sea kayaking opportunities. This is the second of a handful of rolling sessions that will take place this winter. Rolling takes some practice and underwater body awareness, so don't be discouraged if you don't have the skill dialed in after the first lesson - you'll have plenty of additional times to practice. OA will supply kayaks, skirts, PFDs, and paddles for this class.
Things to Bring:
- Bathing suit or synthetic active wear
- Towel
- Change of cloths for afterwards
- Water Bottle (1L)

Safety and Risk Management:
Due to the nature of outdoor travel there are certain inherent risks in all of Outdoor Adventure’s trips. Acceptable risks include but are not limited too; river currents, waves and hydraulics, natural and manmade obstacles in the river, sweepers, logjams, high and low water, and getting wet while on the trip. We will wear PFD’s at all times on the river and drysuits and helmets when appropriate. Conditions may include below freezing temperatures, thunderstorms, rain, sleet and high winds. Driving risks may include slick roads, poor visibility and wildlife. Alaska is a wild place - you need to take ultimate responsibility for your own safety as only you can. For your protection we require you to carry health insurance. You can purchase insurance for $2.60/day from the University (ask for details). All info is subject to change due to safety, weather, current conditions, etc.!
