If there is a particular day of the week that works for folks please
pm and I will try to work that into selecting the date for the next one.
Also will be starting flat water roll clinic soon sprinkled through out the summer.
Hope to see you on the river
Re: Roll sessions
Just for clarification purposes, this combat roll session is being offered on a Tuesday evening (6/26), so it doesn't actually overlap with the SWR class. However, we definitely understand not being able to get out / take classes so close together. Send a PM to Giggles and we'll try and make a date work out that suits you. Thanks for your interest!Nifter wrote:Wow. Any plans to do this again? I would love to do this but am signed up for the SWR class the same weekend.
Generally, I think that if I have the opportunity to paddle, and I've got something else to do or I feel like I shouldn't go for some reason, then I force myself to go and I always have a great time. So, I guess when in doubt -- Go, Paddle. -- Tommy Hilleke
