H2O Dreams at WOR 2017

Chris and Lydia are back to share some great opportunities with you at WOR!

  • Boat Based Rescue for River Runners | Monday, 3 July; 10a-12p; Tsali Recreation Area
    • Join Chris and Lydia Wing of H2o Dreams for a two-hour course dedicated to the kinds of rescues we see most often on the river- the ones that happen from our boats! Learn some tips and tricks for draining boats, safety considerations for towing, and practice essential rescues like ‘Hands of God’ and wrangling gear. The fundamentals we’ll practice in flatwater will translate with ease in to more complex whitewater. All skills are welcome; this course will be focused toward kayakers although all craft are welcome.  No registration, no limit on number of participants.
  • Practical River Leadership | Monday, 3 July; 7p-8p; Smokey Mountain Meadows
    • The amazing resources of paddling clubs and the convenience of social media makes linking up with paddlers easier than ever, but what makes for good leadership, and how does that translate to experiences that make us want to come back to the river, again and again? Chris and Lydia Wing will talk about some practical considerations and exercises to make sure those paddling experiences keep you having the best day ever; we’ll share some stories from our years of teaching experience- the good, the bad, and the ugly- as well as offer some practical ways to practice and improve your leadership should you find yourself as the Head Cheese on your next boating adventure. Bring a chair and come ready to talk and ask questions; we’ll speak for about 30 minutes and then open the floor to discussion.
