Whitewater Kayak Class held in conjunction with San Marcos River Rendezvous!

Join us for a weekend of paddling with whitewater kayak class instruction on one of Texas’ favorite rivers with whitewater features. The San Marcos River runs clean and cool this time of year. We will provide instruction from ACA L2 River Kayaking Instructors to give you a foundation for paddling Class I and II rivers.

The San Marcos River Rendezvous is sponsored by the Texas River Protection Association (TRPA) as the spring river clean up event. Paddlers from across the state come to visit and socialize on the shores of the San Marcos River. Along with our whitewater kayak class it is sure to be a fun weekend enjoying the festivities with other Texas paddlers.

Day-One of the Whitewater Kayak Class will include Wet Exits, Basic and River Stroke Mechanics, Ferrying, S-Turns, River Rescue Techniques and River Reading. Day-Two will combine the learned skills with another half day of paddling. During the flatwater portion of the river we will work on maneuvering boat skills as we pick up trash in the San Marcos River.

Pricing includes 2 nights of camping at the San Marcos River Retreat on the shores of the San Marcos River(Friday and Saturday nights). Continental breakfast items, snacks and non-alcoholic hydration will be available. A BBQ dinner will be provided on Saturday night, kayak instruction and rental of required kayak equipment. Pricing includes a one year membership to TRPA. A discount is offered to TRPA members.
