What we’re about
The River Connection Paddler group is for kayakers looking for greater performance (and fun) from their time on the water.
Outings can be Instruction/Performance related or casual getaways. The tenor is dictated by the group dynamics.
The River Connection is equipped by our year round retail store The River Connection, Inc. carrying P&H, Valley, North Shore and Venture kayaks, paddles by Werner, Mitchell and Saltwood, gear and garb by Kokatat, Astral Designs, Stohlquist, Thule, Marco Kayak Saddles.
The River Connection programs are most often launched from our own private Boathouse/Harbor at 30 River Road, Hyde Park, NY at the Hyde Park Landing. This is where we house our Fleet of Demo/Instructional Kayaks and equipment. We also feature other programs elsewhere on the Hudson River as well as the Long Island Sound.

Class limited to three kayakers.
Overcome the urge to wet exit in the event of a capsize, add to your skill set and learn to roll your kayak in a controlled setting. A bomb-proof roll is a fundamental skill for the whitewater boater and a great confidence booster for the sea kayaker encountering rough water conditions.
Following the skill building approach, each participant will learn and practice proper wet exit techniques.
Types of rolls introduced will include the C-to-C and Sweep. The elements of each roll will be introduced and practiced in a progressive approach: the setup (getting into position to begin the roll); the support phase (using a paddle, hands or float for support on the water) and; the hip snap (bringing the boat underneath you to sit upright and completing the roll).
This skill can be accomplished using a properly outfitted whitewater or sea kayak.
A great skill to work on during the dog days of summer!
See you on the water,
