SUMMARY:Rescue & Rolling Practice
DESCRIPTION:Shake off the week and splash into a relaxed evening of kayak skills with CKCC members at Fuller Lake. Expect warm-ish water\, good company\, and plenty of chances to flip\, swim\, roll\, and climb back in with style. \nThis is a practice session\, not a class — but you’ll be surrounded by supportive paddlers who are always happy to share a pointer or two. Wet exits\, partner rescues\, self‑rescues\, rolling… bring whatever you want to work on and have some fun with it. \nOn the water at 6 pm\, off by 8 pm. Immersion wear is recommended. Helmets optional\, but suggested. Nose-plugs and swimming mask are also a good idea!
