So Graham and I would like to take our room mate and new paddler down his first river this Sunday and wanted to know if there are any solid boaters out there who would like to tag along for extra help. He has his roll in the pool but he lacks experience in white water, and there's really only one way to get it.
Now, before anyone gets over excited that I'm bringing a newbie down the river in April he has a dry suit, necessary warm clothes, gloves, etc. His boat is outfitted with float bags and he has been taught how to swim defensively in white water as well as basic river signals.
It's just that Graham and I are only in our second season of paddling. I started last June and he started last August and we have been out 4 times a week on almost 8 or 9 different rivers so we're not totally helpless in getting down the river, we just appreciate the guidance and extra bodies on the water to help with a swimmer. If anyone wants to come out, let me know. My phone number and email:
