Roll Lesson 8/26/10
Hello Luke!
We are Renaissance Adventure Guides just wanted to say thanks for taking your kayak class with us. YOU WERE AWESOME!! Congratulations on your roll!!!
If you are ready to make the transition from the pool into the river (which we think you definitely are)....please consider a one day river trip with Renaissance Adventure Guides! During this one day class you will learn the basics needed to enjoy yourself as you paddle down a river. We start by discussing hydrology and safety concerns and then move onto river skills. You will learn how to ferry, peel out and catch eddies. By the end of the day you will know how to get down a river in a fun and controlled manner. The river portion of this class takes place on the Colorado River near Dotsero (Exit 133 off I-70 W). Please see available dates here: http://raguides.com/kayaking-school/beginner-kayaking-classes/k111-basic-river-course-weekend/
Or...please consider our Two Day Weekend Away in Glenwood Springs (it is SUCH a good time): Never been on whitewater before or maybe you simply want to polish up and review your technique? Then this is the class for YOU! Get ready for two fun-filled days of learning how to negotiate a kayak through class I & II whitewater. All the time you’ll be under the careful guidance of our certified instructors. Our instructor to student ratios are never greater than 1:5 for this course so you are bound to get plenty of personal attention and instruction. Please see dates here: http://raguides.com/kayaking-school/beginner-kayaking-classes/k120-novice-river-clinic-colorado-river/
Don’t Forget: our Open Pool session on Tue and Thu night at the Golden Rec Center. You can pay a $10 entry fee (to us) and if you need gear, we also rent for $10 per session. It’s a great way to practice everything you have learned (or are about to learn). Just keep in mind reservations are required. Here is a link: http://raguides.com/kayaking-school/pool-classes/open-pool/
A Club you should consider joining ($30 a year and all the kayaking friends you can handle): www.ColoradoWhitewater.org .
Finally, just a reminder - If you need any gear (ANYTHING) please shop at www.GoldenRiverSports.net. Tell them I sent you and they will give you a fantastic discount! This weekend is their annual Fall Sale and Swap - Aug 27-29. As I said last night - there is a GREAT Werner Paddle there - 194cm / bent shaft / carbon fiber for $175.
If you have any questions, please email us! We are also in the office everyday from 10am until 4pm.
Thanks so much and make it a great day!
