Just wondering what would be a good Main Channel level to bring a strong beginner kayaker? It’s at 7.5 or something like that right now, is that ok? Also, I’ve never ran the Middle during the summer, is it worth it?

Do the Middle Channel at the current level. You will have a better day on the river. We are not at summer levels yet. Depends on what you consider "worth it", if you consider chasing a swimmer at the Normans or Coliseum "worth it" by all means go down the Main.

Thanks Larry! Exactly what I needed to know. What is a summer level for the Main?

What is a summer level for the Main?
I would say between -2 and 0.

Confirmed today at 4.5-5 ... Colisium is not beginner friendly. I don't remember Kahuna being that big. No "out of boat" experience but it came close.

Kahuna was awesome!!
We need to go run that again so that we can surf Kahuna longer!!

Anytime a beginner kayaker can get on the water, it is much better than sitting at home. The Middle channel is where the kayak schools take their students. Not challenging enough ... then run the rapids backwards :-)
