Intro to Whitewater Kayaking

Ahoy there! All that hard work at the pool sessions is paying off and it’s time to test those rolls and go for a paddle 🙂

This trip is only open to people who have consistently rolled at pool sessions.

The Plan:

Aidan and I will be down at the snow already with boats and paddling gear. If you are down for the snow weekend already, easy, just meet us in Jindabyne Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, if you are coming from Sydney let us know if you have a car so you can carpool down and we will meet you in Jindabyne Sunday afternoon or at Island Bend Campground Sunday evening depending on when you arrive.

We will start paddling early Monday morning on the Thedbo River starting at the Trout hatchery (class I to class II). In the afternoon we might have a crack on the lower section of Afternoon Delight on the Thredbo River (class III)

Tuesday we will paddle the Lower Munyang (class III) we can do multiple laps depending on how tired you feel.
