Pool Sessions in NW Arkansas - Jones Center

The NW chapter has scheduled the Jones Center Pool for Roll Sessions this winter. The time is 8:30 to 11:00. We ask that all participants enter the Jones Center Located on Emma street in Springdale through the West doors at Pool deck level. Please rinse your boats before coming and again before putting them in the pool. The west entrance is accessable from the rear of the building. The stairs are on the south west corner of the building in the playground. There is plenty of parking on the west side as well. We usually have plenty of experienced paddlers available for advice during the roll practice sessions.

Cost:
Free for all current ACC Members
$5 for all non-members (maybe it is time to join up? :twocents: )

Where: Jones Center Springdale

When:
December 8, 2012 8:30am – 11am
December 15, 2012 8:30am – 11am
January 12, 2013 8:30am – 11am
January 26, 2013 8:30am – 11am
February 9, 2013 8:30am – 11am

What to bring:
Kayak gear
optional: a friend (if you don't have a friend one will be provided for you). This a good way to introduce your buddies to kayaking and to the club.

I will be there Saturday with my Open Boat, and happy to help people with canoe rolls. I will also probably be bringing Dave Renfro's 4Fun setup as a C1.

See ya'll Saturday morning! :canoe:

I may not be back by next weekend 1/12/13. Hope someone will be there to help folks. There always is, but I seem to stay busy when I come to the roll sessions

Brother had major stroke and I may be gone for a while. Tonight was interesting contacting 911 in Georgia to get him help, and telling them where to break into house. They got to him in the magic hour so we are hopeful. HE would not call 911 and was adament he did not want to go to hospital, but he did call me.

I live in Fayetteville...go to UA... looking to learn to roll. I've only floated with a recreational before. I do own a used whitewater kayak though. If I show up at the Jones Center the morning of Jan. 26th, is there a chance there will be someone there to give me tips on how to roll? Tried to teach myself and my brother and that plan failed miserably.

Come on out! There are usually a handful of us that can work with you on your roll.

If you want to get a good video on how to roll, check out The Kayak Roll, http://www.performancevideo.com/the_kayak_roll" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .
