What do I need to wear?
The water on the Green River is warm. If the weather is warm, a bathing suit and shoes that will stay on your feet while swimming are recommended. During early spring and late fall, we recommend layering with synthetics such as fleece or polypropylene. Anything you forgot or need for the trip can be purchased in our store.

Overview:

 |
This Clinic is open to 8 people the first Friday of every month, May-September. We meet at "Fish Top Falls", put-in for the Lower Green and take-out for the Narrows, at 4:45pm, gear up and start rolling. Taking turns one on one with the instructors, you can start to learn to roll or fix what ails your roll. Our roll clinics take place in the river so you can work in a quiet-water pool or in the current. Due to the specific nature of this clinic, it is open to anyone who has taken "Introduction to Kayaking" with us or has had instruction elsewhere. This is not an appropriate clinic for someone brand new to paddling who has never been in a kayak, nor is it a substitute for beginning kayak instruction.
We teach a number of different roll techniques; the sweep roll, the "C to C" roll, back deck roll, hands roll ...generally, we will pick one technique that seems to be the easiest for your flexibility and body shape and start there. It is important to have one roll that works for you and practice it a lot! Then start to add to your repertoire of skills.
"Sara is a great instructor. She's very positive and smart! I love the way she broke down the skills into discrete parts and then chained them together." Betsy Dobbins - Birmingham, Alabama
Transportation:
Clients must provide their own transportation to and from the rivers or lakes.
Gear and equipment:
The roll clinic is a little different than our regular clinics, because people who sign up for this clinic usually own their own gear. We do not provide gear as part of the clinic cost. Equipment can be provided for an additional charge.
