Description:

Itching to get out paddling? Want to work on your boofs, ferries, and catching eddies?

On Saturday we'll head up to Squamish to go work on skills at the Mamquam. We'll likely spend a few hours at the put-in working on skills and doing park and play laps, before potentially paddling to the takeout (water levels depnding, right now it's quite dry) 

While this is a trip to work on whitewater skills, and you don't have to be an experienced paddler to come, it's not a trip for absolute beginners. You should have paddled at least a few whitewater rivers to come on this trip. If you've already done an intro to whitewater course or something similar, that's a great starting point. 

We do have a few boats and kit to rent, but it's somewhat limited, so if you've got your own or spares to lend, please bring it!
