Topic: Palmer Rapids weekend 2014 - Paddling Clinics

[Sandra K]

Any idea which play wave?  Is there a cap on the lessons? I.e. is the intermediate full? Still trying to decide if I want to battle the bugs:)

[Jordan Reinders]

Assuming I can get a ride, I'll do both.

hi

Levels have ranged - 50-200 cms     cms = cubic metre/second

100 cms is the optimum

50 cms  Bring your fishing rod to catch catfish below piano rock
200 cms offers a few more channels to practice on ... but really doesn't change the classification of the Palmer Rapids too much, elevating it from Class II to Class II+.

We paddle the river no matter what the levels are ...

Not familiar with the water levels. In the past, what have been the typical range of levels for the Palmer Rapid Weekend

I'm in for the Intermediate/Advanced (bow-stall be damned!) I'll see if Lariza is up for the Beginner.

I just spoke with Paddlers Coop.  The present river level is 200 cms.  He thinks/hopes it may go down to 150 cms for the weekend; however, apparently, the 'dam' people just give him a 15 minute warning as to what they will do.

DAM!!! Lol:)

hi

Let's keep it simple.
Register by replying to this thread
Bring cash ... the $20 bill in circulation is waterproof, usually what the ATMs normally spit out.

Actually there is a way to register and pay online ... but not really worth the effort, time or any benefit to setting up an online payment method.

Larry

Hum, I don't know how to do this but I wonder if a paypal option can-could-should be made available to shore up payments and how many candidates are registered or if arriving with $20 cash will work just as well?

To give the non camping paddlers a chance to arrive in the morning

the beginner clinic will run from 11:00 to 13:30 and
the intermediate/advanced clinic will run from 14:30 to 17:00

The features (and water level) at Palmer Rapids will somewhat dictate what 'tricks' can be taught and practiced but we have Zach for the day and he is eager and qualified to help us; so, I encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity.

Hi there! I would like to do both clinics.
Thanks, Leslie

I'm in for both sessions.

[coolfarmer816]

had me to the beginner list

Daniel

[egilbert]

I'd be up for both as well but perhaps less interested in the morning session if it is "very beginner". I'm in for the afternoon for sure.

Elizabeth

[Paul Potvin]

I think I'd be down for both. I could use a refresher on the finer technique of rolling, but I'd also be love to have some tips for when I'm on the wave... Would both be $40, or does the cost of $20 cover both?

Grace and Peace,
Jordan

I believe the $cost is per moring or per afternoon session and not for both.

[lizanne]

....may have one more beginner interested
