While the group was small, everyone enjoyed SRSFL’s first water sports day held at Lake Natoma.

Sylvia wrote, “I am new to kayaking so I listened intently. “Feel the seat, that is where you will sit. Your feet will go down here….Now feel the paddle, these dots show where to place your hands.” Then the shove off into the American River just above the Hazel Damn. The water was calm and cool, and pleasant. I stroked, left, right, left, right, left, left, left, and left again. Ooh, going straight was not that easy. But boy was kayaking fun! moot,, tranquil waters, whispering gentle breezes.
My experience left me feeling better than an hour of massage, completely relaxed. Thank you Bruce Johnson for showing me this wonderful sport.

It’s only the beginning!
