Women's Kayaking Series

Get out on the river with other women!

In a testosterone dominant sport, such as whitewater kayaking, we tend to forget our feminine side. We hear people yell out, "Paddle harder", "Be aggressive" and "Suck it up!" Right? Sometimes women just want to relax, paddle in pink, and have a fun-filled day on the river with just the gals!

Now you can feed both sides of your personality the LAST Sunday of each month, starting in May! Wet Planet is hosting the following Women's-Only clinics, led by team Jackson paddler and Wet Planet insructor Heather Herbeck.

COST: $85 each Sunday (except for women's Costa Rica trip)
Register for every Sunday and receive 10% off
of the total price!

TIME: 9:00 - 9:30 - Introductions and gear gathering

This is a unique opportunity to get together, celebrate women on the water and fine tune the skills that will help you style your way down the river!
