Itinerary:

WEATHER & WATER CONDITIONS PERMITTING.

Spend a lovely day on the water exploring Barrier Lake. Spectacular mountain views with possible views of moose, elk, bear, and bighorn sheep. Great way to spend a day out in the countryside.

We'd be spending 2.5 hours on the lake and have a picnic lunch by the lakeshore after that. Bring food for yourself and food you'd like to share. Don't bring for 20 people though :)

Beginners are welcome. There is no real lesson, but newbies will be assisted until comfortable.

The kayaks will be recreational kayaks without rudders, although many will be higher end rec boats which have the same hull design as touring boats. Cost of the event includes the Boat rental, PFD and Paddles.

Note:
NO JEANS TO BE WORN and no cotton clothing. Bring clothing that can get wet.
- Totals allowed on this event may change in accordance with Aquabatics' availability of demo boats.

PAYMENT NOTE & INSTRUCTIONS:
Payment is due immediately upon registration. Should payment not be received on time you will be moved off the event and onto the waitlist and someone else will be offered your spot. There will be no refunds after the cut off date unless a replacement can be found. The faster you pay the faster you get on. Don't be surprised if someone on the waitlist gets on before you do.
