I absolutely love paddling in the fall when the air is crisp and bright yellow, red and brown leaves dot the trees. Taking a leisurely paddle to enjoy the scenery is a perfect way to unwind and experience nature. For beginner paddlers though, this extra chill can be daunting. To help novice paddlers get into the sport so they will be ready to go in spring, Smith River Adventure Outfitters is now offering beginner kayak classes indoors at the Martinsville YMCA!
Classes are offered the third Friday of each month (October 16, November 20, December 18) from 6-8PM.
Drop your boat in the heated pool to learn entry and exit skills, paddle strokes, river running techniques and introduction to the kayak (eskimo) roll. Classes are $35 each and boat rentals are available for $10 extra.
Contact Smith River Adventure Outfitters - 252-0701 or the YMCA - 632-6427 to register or for more information.
