Intro to the Roll Tue 11/3/09
Hey Amanda and Scott!
It’s Patty, your Renaissance Adventure Guides instructor!
I just wanted to say thanks for taking the "Intro the Roll" class with me Tue night as it was a pleasure to meet you and spend some time with you teaching you the ROLL!
First thing I want you to know: DO NOT FRET IF YOU DID NOT GET THE ROLL 100%! It takes most people an average of 6 hours of instruction JUST WORKING SPECIFICALLY on the roll to become somewhat consistent. And it takes YEARS of practice to become 100% consistent. However, you both have had a really great start as your skills were EXCELLENT! You were just a pure pleasure to teach So proud of you both for sticking with it ! You are awesome boaters and will be EVEN BETTER next summer – guaranteed!
As I said earlier, please consider our Open Pool session on Tue and Thu nights at the Golden Rec Center. You can pay a $10 entry fee (to us) and if you need gear, we also rent boats for $10 per session. It’s a great way to practice everything you have learned!. Just keep in mind reservations are required and please specify you will need a boat rental. Here’s how you can do it online: http://raguides.com/kayaking-school/pool-classes/open-pool/ Or of course feel free to call the office anytime and they will book you!
Here’s the Club I mentioned you should join. Membership is $30 per year. They have a "Training Camp" coming up in May that would be fun for you to come to – meet some fun/nice peeps! I will be there and can offer you a friendly face to intro you to some people and just have a good time. Book before Christmas and save $50 per person: www.ColoradoWhiteWater.org
Here’s the store that will give you a discount (at least 10 to 15% off) ANYTIME you need something: www.GoldenRiverSports.net
If you have any questions, please email or call me!
Thanks so much and make it a great day!
Thanks,
Patty LaBarge
