There's a whitewater release that happens 20 minutes from where I live in Tohickon creek during the first weekend of November and I endeavor to be fully ready to paddle it by that time. However, I've never owned any of my own kayaking gear, and while I have experience reading light rapids on a paddleboard, that's about the extent of my paddling experience.
I've done some research into whitewater kayaks and am definitely going to buy used (that used market is similar to the used bike market - inundated with supply from COVID). I'm also signing u for a whitewater kayaking instructional weekend here: https://kayakschool.com/
Is anyone an expert and can give a newbie some advice? I already read through this absolute gem of an old thread for instructions on what NOT to do: https://www.mtbnj.com/forum/threads/my-kayaking-failure-in-the-rockaway-river-need-advice.23794/
