Hi-

I have a question about Class II rapids. I started kayaking last summer, and I've done Class I rapids a couple times. I'm wondering if I can handle Class II rapids? I paddle a Pungo 125, if that has any bearing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You should be fine. The class 2 rapids are in one spot and are not anything to worry about. There's a new paddler going with us on this trip and I will be standing in the rapids to assist if needed. We do of course ask that everyone wears a personal flotation device on all TCT paddles.

Are you planning to join us? There uis a possibility that we will be meeting in Lowellville now instead of Hillsville. One of the people interested in paddling has suggested we make the trip a little longer. It would be about 45 minutes longer if we do. I will post here by 8 pm with our decision.

I'm not going to make it tomorrow, but thank you for checking in! I will catch up with TCT on another trip--love this group!
