World class female kayaker Heather Herbeck will be coming to UPS. Heather is an incredibly talented instructor who has helped progress the sport of kayaking. This event is to promote females to try out the male dominated sport of kayaking. Do not be fooled, this is the coolest event our club has ever put on, and it is for GIRLS ONLY! Come and listen to Heather's adventures from many exotic corners of the world. Come hop in a kayak, meet tons of great people and have a fantastic time. *please no sea kayaks $5 -kayak club members $7 -nonmember student $10 -nonstudent w/ gear $20 -nonstudent w/o gear At the end of the event we will raffle off 2 pairs of Chaco sandals!!

Not to be a buzzkill, but why must we be so exclusive? ![]("http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/smileys/smiley33.gif")

I've heard from a bunch of girls that they feel intimidated by guys being there. Whatever their reasons are, i'm going to see what happens with this event. On a good note though, I am planning a much more kickass event open to everyone, Flat water rodeo competition. be ready.

we are planning to hold this event in early Feburary. There may be a few minor changes with the raffle, but everything else will be good to go at the UPS pool.
