These are photos from the Intro to Whitewater Kayaking class, led by Matt Weldon with help from a couple others. It's being taught over several sessions, once a week on Tuesdays, culminating with a trip down a Class II river.

Session1: Walden Pond. Going straight, sweep stroke, wet exits

Session 2: Watertown Dam. Throw bags, Draw strokes, Eddylines, peeling out, eddying out, ferrying

Session 3: Watertown Dam. Paddle skills on a course, with floating "gates" to run. Intro to rolling (bow rescues, hip rotation).

Session 4: Walden Pond. Rolling: putting it all together!

Take a look here for pictures from the river trip!
