  Thursday Night Meetups!

  Want to just get out and meet some boaters? Want to get back in a boat before Training Camp? Want to just grab a beer with boater friends after a play session? Lots of boaters and many of our members meet on Thursdays at some Front Range Whitewater Parks.

  There is no sign-up required as it is not an official club event, just a place to join other people after work. Most people aim to arrive at 5:30pm and meet people before hopping in their boats. If you're a beginner, let people know. If you're not a beginner, please reach out to new people and invite them to join you! The expectation is to make a safe environment for everyone to play and practice, and maybe make a new friend to go boating with again. If you just want to play on your own play wave by yourself, this probably isn't the group to join.

  All types of boat are welcome: kayaks, SUPs, packrafts, small rafts, etc. 

  Locations

  River Run Park in Englewood

  Meet at the Broken Tee Golf Course Parking lot close to the pavilion. Extremely beginner friendly at most water levels. Good for first timers. 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month.

  Golden Whitewater Park in Golden

  Meet at the Lions Park parking lot in Golden. Not first timer friendly but beginner friendly below 150cfs. Above 300cfs (yellow flag) this is a solid intermediate run and kayakers should have a roll. 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month.

  Cruise with Colorado Whitewater (CW)

  This year we are using registration pages as a way to show interest in a cruise.  The cruise leader needs to confirm skill level is appropriate before confirming your participation in the cruise.  Knowing who is interested will help volunteers know how many leaders and sweeps would make the event fun for all involved.  Please register for the cruise if you would like to attend. For all cruises, please have some experience running the class of whitewater that is listed with each cruise. If you have any questions about the skill level required for the cruise you wish to attend, please contact the cruise leader for that cruise, or send an email to cruises@coloradowhitewater.org.

  See full list of cruises and wavier information here.

  
  

  Cruise leader will be John Coddou. As events get closer and volunteers step up, they will reach out to those who have shown interest and confirm details of the activity.

  A CW cruise is a fun river meet up for members to meet other paddlers and have a good time on the river.

  There is no instruction available during the cruise.  Be confident your skills are appropriate for this section of river. 

  You must have appropriate gear for cold water.

  Please plan to help with boat shuttle. This is almost always a challenge.

  As the event gets closer and the leader has confirmed your skill level and confirmed appropriate water flows, the cruise leader will share specific details of meeting location.

  All participants must be CW members and sign a waiver.

    Carmody Rec Center, 2200 S Kipling St, Lakewood, CO 80227

  This intermediate course will help you to develop the skills necessary to safely run advanced whitewater. This is not an all encompassing course--someone cannot go from being comfortable on class III to comfortable on class IV from a two day course. We will focus on teaching drills and techniques that will help you take your paddling to the next level. Please come ready to work and have fun.

  Pool Workout

  Day 1, April 28th: Taking your skills to the next level requires work and we’re going to give you tools to help you help yourself. We’ll start off with a series of warm up drills that will get your blood moving and help you practice your strokes, body/boat awareness, and edging. These drills come from an intersection of slalom, freestyle, and creeking techniques.

  After the warm up drills we’ll focus on strokes and techniques including a video session. You’ll get to see how you are doing and will get advice from the group.

  Solid strokes help you to avoid difficult situations, but sometimes those situations can’t be avoided. We’ll continue with a series of fun drills that incorporate rolling. We’ll tailor based upon how the class is doing.

  We’ll wrap up the pool session with a discussion of how to apply some of the drills and techniques in moving water. We’ll also talk about gear and cover some of the qualities of gear you need to consider as you step up your game.

  Moving Water

  Day 2, TBD: The second day of this two day course will be on moving water. It is optional, but you must have participated in the pool session to join us on the river. Exact location and time TBD based upon river levels - the group will decide during the pool session.

  Our goal is to practice advanced moves in class II/III whitewater. We are going to make easier sections of whitewater more challenging and more fun by applying what we learned in the pool to moving water. We’ll augment basics like eddy turns and peelouts with body position and momentum and ratchet things up from there. What we’ll do depends upon the current river level and conditions (options include ferrying onto a wave, microboofs, rolling in various conditions).

  We’ll take a break and discuss as a group was has worked for us and where we’ve had some difficulties. Then we’ll put together some of the moves we’ve practiced into a course. We’ll take turns running the course and giving each other advice. Our goal is to give you the skills to make up your own training routines in the future. You’ll also develop your skills in effectively critiquing yourself and others. You will never look at class II/III the same way again.

  Prerequisites

  Before taking this class you’ll want to be comfortable practicing your roll repeatedly and paddling class II/III whitewater. It will be a bit chilly in the early season water, so a drysuit is highly recommended.

  All roll classes are 1-on-1 with an instructor for 1 hour. Beginner, intermediate, expert, whatever, all roll classes are one on one. We think this allows us to tailor the lesson to exactly what you need and helps avoid having too many cooks in the kitchen.

  If you have never rolled a kayak before, are looking to brush up on your roll after a long winter, or are looking for feedback to get a more consistent roll this 1-hour one-on-one clinic will provide you with direct feedback that should help you on your path to improving your roll. Nose plugs are recommended as a good majority of this class time will be spent upside-down.

  Prerequisites: None. You'll be working one-on-one with an instructor so that they can meet you where you are. Our instructors can work with people who have never tried rolling before or people who are just trying to fine tune their existing roll.
  

  Cost:  $80 course fee ($10 discount with ACA membership).  Rental equipment (boat, spray skirt, and paddle) available by request.

  This is the culmination of the Beginner Classes from the pool and includes time on a lake to transfer pool skills to the out of doors and then finally time on a mellow river to confidently apply those skills on moving water. The location is dependent on water levels and are TBD. We will email all registrants the week before the class to confirm our plans but it will be no farther than a one-hour drive from Denver. 

  Important Note about Gear: 

  You must bring the following gear with you: Helmet, Lifejacket, Paddle, Skirt, Boat and shoes that can get wet.

  You also will want some cold water gear. Most people start with a wetsuit and splash jacket or drytop. Make sure that your rental includes all of these items or you have some you can bring. 

  If you are unable to buy or rent gear by the week before the class, reach out to the Instruction Coordinator and we'll see what we can find.

  Playboating Fundamentals

  In our Playboating Freestyle Fundamentals classes, we will focus on the skills that will help kayakers of all levels learn to move their boats in every direction including the use of edges, trim and balance for play boating. Participants will be introduced to techniques that will lead to cartwheels, double pumps, bow and stern stalls.
  

  These clinics are really fun and will not only work on specific freestyle skills, but will give students a pathway to improve the movements that make EVERY freestyle trick happen. This way they can build the strength and skills necessary to learn any trick much more quickly. This will also be a great work-out--you will be sore after! These drills typically become part of daily warm-up and practice routines, even for the best kayakers in the world.

  Instructor:  Aran Kilroy

  Prerequisites: Ability to comfortably maneuver your kayak at an intermediate (Level B) level. Participants must have a reliable roll and a properly outfitted play boat.

  Date and Time:  5/5/24 4-6pm

  Cost:  $80
