About this event:
Created by Jenny Taylor
Are you ready to get the most out of the Ocoee River?
The focus of this class is to get the most out of the non-traditional lines on the Ocoee.
Many paddlers run the same familiar lines on the Ocoee. This event is to help with familiarizing yourself with the non-traditional lines on the river.
The skills you need:
- Paddle comfortably and have at least a 75% combat roll in Class III whitewater.
2. Be comfortable paddling on the Ocoee river.
3. Be ready to push yourself and work the features of the river.
4. A positive attitude!
Skills we will work on:
- Running non-traditional lines on the Ocoee River
- Difficult ferries.
- Boofing
- Using your boat to its maximum potential
Bring your usual paddling gear for paddling a Class III river. Dress for the weather, you may be rolling or swimming. A slicey, playable/surfable boat is required (Examples: RPM, Axiom etc. etc.). A full face helmet is preferred but not required. Bring lunch or a snack and water. Safety boaters will be present.
Contact Hunter Torbush or Sam Wakefield for additional information!
I noticed I signed for events running same day. I’ll have to choose between Upper Ocoee/occoee and this one. I’m still a maybe if I can borrow a slicey boat. My session needs some outfitting changes so my feet don’t go numb!
So sad to miss out but I have to work a Saturday shift until noon. Super bummed.
forgot i am supporting your pops’ nanty class that day
Turns out my services are not needed on the Nanty. I am back in for the slicey boat clinic!
Keep in mind for those who have signed you MUST be comfortable on this river and know the rapids. We are not leading you down and showing and telling you just how to run it, we are working on developing the skills needed to run the harder lines and then putting those skills into practice. Be aware you may get worked in a hole or two.
Umm, I don’t have a slicey boat, but I want to go!:) Is that cool?
I guess…. LOL
