We will meet at Freshwater Bay at 8:30 am to unload our gear and set up a shuttle to end the paddle at Crescent Bay.

We will launch from Freshwater Bay and meander along the coast line finding fun features to assess and play in along the way. While this is not a course, we will spend time figuring out why (or why not) a rock feature is safe to play in. We will also practice rescues to keep our skills sharp. Rolling practice in conditions is highly encouraged!
