Paddle Clinic and Social Paddle (and Happy Hour!!!)
Friday August 24th 2012
3:00 PM Friday: – Come down and enjoy a free paddling clinic with Elite Paddlers Slater Trout and Dave Boehne, presented by LiftSUP. The clinic will take place on the riverfront on the grounds of the Washington Canoe Club. A Limited number of boards will be provided for those who attend to demo and try out but you must sign up on advance to participate.

In consideration of our neighbors and the very tight location at the end of the road.. literally.. there will be no onsite parking. We will facilitate a drop off and pick up for your boards at the WCC but please be prepared to walk 10-15 minutes. Bring quarters for meters, dollars for lots. Please be patient in the process, we will move it along as fast as we can. The WCC will be open for drop off beginning at 2:00.
