I have to say thanks to Dave Hepp and Eric Condrey for putting together such a great class for the newest members of the flatwater paddle sports team at the U.S. National Whitewater Center.
What a jam packed day of water sports AND fun facts about the Whitewater Center (though we aren't sure that Dave H. didn't make some of them up....he added in some history, geology and even a little ornithology.....he was quite possibly "winging it" no pun intended. :) Either way I never thought a "class" could be so fun. If you or anyone you know is considering joing the team at the Whitewater Center I can assure you it is the perfect environment for those who love working with people and are outdoor enthusiasts. There are so many avenues you can pursue including flatwater sports, whitewater sports, mountain biking, canopy tour group, food and beverage, customer service, marketing, etc.
I promised the group today that I would post my "green" pictures. Coincidentally our class happened to be on the day they turn the water GREEN. VERY VERY GREEN. Take a look at these from our class and you can see more on my facebook page. I look forward to working with my new friends this summer and to introducing more in the Charlotte and surrounding areas to Stand Up Paddleboarding and the idea of incorporating PaddleFit into their workout routine. PaddleFit is a unique fitness system that combines land and water fitness. More to come on that!!
