UNM Students - have you ever wanted to try kayaking, but didn't know where to start? Now here's your chance! The Whitewater Weekend Getaway Adventure program filled up in 4 days(!!) with a waiting list. There was so much interest in kayaking, that we have chartered a UNM Kayak Club, and are making plans to get a few boats, raise some funds for a few trips, and share some good times together. There will be no formal instruction... at the event (hence the name 'free-for-all'), but we will be playing some fun games like Kayak Polo and learning the basics to have fun that night. A nominal $10 charge goes to cover pool rental. Any remaining proceeds will go to the UNM Kayak Club to purchase gear, fund future trips, etc. A 4hr "Intro to Kayak" class will be offered on Nov. 14 (Sunday) 8am - 12, for those who want formal instruction, to be able join us on future trip. The class is regularly $75, and includes all boats, gear and pool rental. A special UNM price of $65 will be offered to current students and staff. If we get 8 or more students, New Mexico Kayak Instruction will donate $15/person to the UNM Kayak Club. So, invite your friends, classmates, roommates and facebook buddies. "Like" this to show your freinds list the cool things you're up to!
Price: 
$10.00 Before Tax
This was a fantastic weekend! We learned so much so quickly but at the same time could take it at our own individual pace. When I got into the kayak on the first morning I was still a little uncertain about trying out whitewater but by the end of the weekend I felt very comfortable. I was definitely glad I went.  Thank you Kelly and Dave!

Thanks for the info and the good class.  Even though I've owned recreational kayaks for many years, I learned far more than I ever knew before.
