Hello,

I'm a French kayaker planning a trip to the States next summer (possily the first 3 weeks of July), and I would like to enjoy some river over there.

Does anyone know a good kayak school or spot where I can spend a week without bringing all my gears?
What I'm looking for is some fun on the water of course, but also improving my technique (I'm not a great kayaker... I'm confident on Class III, I can still manage on some IV, and V only if it's big volume and not technical...) and why not developpping yet unknown frestyle skills.

Would you have something for me?

Best,

Wilf

Hey Wilf, The USA is a big place, where are you going to be?

Convince your DC friends to take you out to the ASCI in Maryland.

Hey Wilf,
I live about an hour from DC. If you don't mind a small drive for a day, I can show you the Upper Youghiogheny or Lower Youghiogheny. They are about 3 or 4 hours from DC (easily a day trip). The Lower Yough is a good solid class III run, and gorgeous. As long as you're close to my size, I've got plenty of extra gear. Feel free to email me.
