Womens Paddle Kayaking Series
Course Requirements: Varies each Sunday - See Schedule Below
Dates: One Sunday per Month - See Schedule Below
Price: $95
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 on one Sunday of each month, starting in May! Wet Planet is hosting the following Womens-Only clinics, led by team Jackson paddler and Wet Planet instructor Heather Herbeck.
COST: $95 each Sunday (except for Sept. 19th, Tieton River Day - $45)
Register for every Sunday and receive 10% off
the total price!
TIME: 9:00 - 9:30 - Introductions and gear gathering
9:30 - 10:00 am - YOGA overlooking Rattlesnake Rapid
10:00 - 5:00 (ish) pm - Paddle (Lunch provided on the river)
Note: Sept. 19th, the Tieton River 1/2 Day is 9:00 - 12:30 p.m.
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!
