Intro to Whitewater- Get your R1- Baraboo
The What
Looking for a reason to get outside before school starts? Want to learn how to paddle a boat in rivers? Or maybe you want to learn the best way to end up upside down in a kayak (and maybe even back upright)? This might be the trip for you.
We will be focusing on teaching skills for an R1 rating and to get you ready for the beginner trip Labor Day weekend.
For anyone interested in doing some tryhard-y homework, this is the river we will be running https://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/2887/. All sorts of fun to drool over while you wait in anticipation for Aug27th to come!
Itenerary
We will depart from the Union at 8am (arrive at 7:30 before to load gear).
Hour drive to Baraboo.
Get our boats and hair wet.

Money for food and maybe a buck or two for gas.
Extra Bits
If you can drive boats or people, shoot me an email (lowry3@wisc.edu) so I can open it up to more people. Also, if this date doesn't work for you but you are looking for an R1 lesson, let me know and we can get out on the water. Always looking for an excuse to go paddle...
Rolling Practice
Come practice rolling your whitewater and/or sea kayak with me. I can work with only one person at a time but I hope to be able to help several throughout the session. If you just want some good old shenanigans in whitewater boats, you are welcome to join too!
You must have a lake rating in a kayak to participate. If you do not have one and want to take a kayak lake lesson contact our whitewater chair (whitewater@hooferouting.org)

2019 Sea Kayaks & More at Door County - Labor Day Weekend - Save the Date
Friday, Aug 30, 2019 - 4:00 pm through Monday, Sep 2, 2019 - 5:00 pm
The next episode of the great annual Hoofer Labor Day Trip to Door County!
So we will have a 3-day weekend coming up and Labor Day Weekend is summer at its peak. So that means one thing. We are spending the weekend doing what the Outing Club does best: playing outside on the water and on land. It will be a smorgasbord of outdoor activities. We will have sea kayaking, biking, hiking, campfires and day trips into local lakeside towns. Some highlights of the trip:
-Cycle and take the ferry to beautiful Washington Island
-Hike in Penninsula and Newport State Park. Beautiful coastline and forests.
-Sea kayak Lake Michigan. Do some surfing at Whitefish Dunes.
-We camp in Newport State Park. There is a beach where we have morning coffee. It is close to Door County's lakeside towns and has tons of hiking going through the campsite.
-Spend time around the campfire, on the beach, and it’s all with great people.
-And did I mention the food? There’s always good food.
The trip will cost $100. A $100 deposit will be required to hold your spot.
We will leave Friday August 30st and return Monday September 2nd. Departure time on Friday will be around 5 pm. The plan is to return to Madison on Monday night around 7 pm.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday night will be spent camping at Newport State Park. Each day sea kayaking trips will be lead along the coastline of Lake Michigan. You will need at least an SK1 rating. Other groups will either bike or hike the beautiful back country of Door County. And if you want an easier day, Door County is the ideal place to tour small towns and main street.
The club sea kayaks and some tents will be used for this trip. Food will also be provided. You may want to bring snacks.
Price: $100
Deposit of $100. (The sooner you place your deposit the sooner your spot will be held).
Generally speaking deposits will be non-refundable if there is not someone available to take your spot.
If trip costs are less than expected (gas prices fall) you will be refunded your share of the surplus.
We will be staying at the Newport State Park.
Please let us know if you are able/willing to:
Lead a portion of the trip (SK Leaders)
Drive (and carry boats/bikes)
Please note that signing up for this trip online does not confirm you a spot, submitting your deposit does.
Once Robert receives your deposit he will confirm your spot the trip.

In addition we will also discuss identifying river features and hazards, how to run rapids, surfing in features, and simply how to have fun on the water.
In the evening we will camp out cooking dinner around the camp fire and telling tall tales of our heroic whitewater adventure from the day. Alec said he may even show us the secret to making a perfect “smaco” on the camp fire!

Wolfman Triathlon
The What
Are you looking to be as tired as absolutely possible Saturday night? Or looking for an excuse to paddle, mountain bike, and go for a run all in one day? If so, the Wolfman Triathlon is calling your name. You will need an r1 whitewater rating to participate in this event. If you do not have this, email me and we can get you the rating beforehand (lowry3@wisc.edu). The description from the Wolfman website:
"The 25th Annual Wolfman Triathlon, presented by Wolfman Triathlon Inc., one of the first off road triathlon's in Wisconsin consists of three segments: 3 mile whitewater paddle…13 mile mountain bike ride…and 3.5 mile rugged trail run. Racers begin in kayaks/canoes on the very rocky 3-mile class II whitewater section of the Wolf River just north of Langlade, WI. This downriver canoe and kayak leg ends at the DNR landing in Langlade. Racers then pull their boats ashore and sprint to the bike racks for a 13-mile mountain biking portion of the race. After a short ride east on highway 64, the course enters the Nicolet National Forest and the area’s extensive network of challenging technical single-track mountain bike trails. The course eventually exits the National Forest, crosses highway 55 south of Langlade and continues on more purpose built trail culminating with a river crossing near the end of the mountain biking course. The last leg of the race is a 3.5 mile rugged trail run along the scenic Wolf River."
The Plan
We will be meeting Friday afternoon (4pm) at the Union to load gear and drive up to the campsites to prepare for the race the next day. Saturday, shuffling gear around to the various transition points begins at 6am. A complete list of race day details can be found at http://wolfmantriathlon.org/info/athlete-rules . Following the completion of the race is an awards ceremony and free food (that you already paid for through registration. We will camp that night again and then pack up and return to Madison the following morning. If you need to return to Madison Saturday night, something can be arranged.
What to Bring/Cost
The registration for the Triathlon is $93 with camping being $12 a night. Estimate a registration cost totalling $117. We will be using club boats and bikes, but you will need to bring appropriate clothing for participating in all three events (non-cotton shorts and shirt) as well as a pair of shoes you are comfortable riding a bike and trail running with. Aside from the actual race, bring a tent (hoofers can supply if needed), sleeping bag, and clothes to sleep in/wear after the race (dry socks are some of the best feelings after a race)/drive home in on Sunday.
Registration
Each individual will be responsible for registering themselves. Please forward me (lowry3@wisc.edu) a copy of your confirmation email so I can check you off. Register with the "Triathlon and Camping" option. When it asks about camping, the name of the group is "Hoofers". Email me (lowry3@wisc.edu) if you have any further questions.
Garmin inReach Tutorial
Following the general club meeting I will be conducting a tutorial on the Garmin inReach devices for trip leaders to learn how and when to use them.
No ratings necessary.

Paddlers will benefit from expert ACA training on Lake Superior between the Bayfield Peninsula of Wisconsin and the Keweenaw Peninsula of Upper Michigan. Venues include the Apostle Islands National Shoreline (including the Meyer's Beach Sea Caves), Porcupine Mountain State Park, and Black River Harbor. Each day will include an integration of classroom didactic instruction with on water training in conditions on Lake Superior.

(A) ACA Sea Kayak L4 Skills Assessment.
(B) Training Leading to L4 Instructor Certification.
The American Canoe Association (ACA) is the industry standard for paddle sports in North America and is a recognized standard worldwide.

2020 Door County Sea Kayak Symposium - July 9/10-12, 2020
2020 Door County Sea Kayak Symposium - July 9/10-12, 2020 (Arrival to Door County evening of July 9)
This symposium is sponsored by Rutabaga and hosted at Rowley's Bay Resort in beautiful Door County. This is a chance for Hoofers to paddle sea kayaks on Lake Michigan in a beautiful setting and to get quality mentorship/training outside of the club and to bring their skills back to the club. I have attended and taught before, and many other club members have either attended or instructed at the symposium. Pleae feel free to ask us about our experience. If you intend to register and attend, please contact me to coordinate boat and gear. Given the scheduling and costs involved, I am posting early to enable folks to plan and coordinate boat, gear, and lodging. I am also hoping that this will motivate you to develop skills through the club to enable you to make the most of the experience. I am working on ways to possibly reduce the costs for Hoofers.

Door County Sea Kayak Symposium Website:
http://www.paddlers.com/everyonepaddles/page.asp?pgid=1016
When: July 9/10-12, 2020 (Participants often arrive on the evening of July 9 to be ready to participate on July 10.)
Where: On Lake Michigan at Rowley Bay Resort in Door County, WI. ~ 5hrs drive from Madison.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/eUuPpAAMrdFS1k2M9
Rating Required:SK1 and up (If you need help deciding if this is a good fit for you, please feel free to contact me directly by email.)
Why's it so great: This symposium offers dozens of courses organized by skill level. It is run by ACA and BCU certified instructors and covers every aspect of sea kayaking. You choose your own class schedule based on skill level. There are land and water-based instructional courses as well as guided expeditions around Lake Michigan. Some examples of instructional classes are Greenland paddling, Navigation, and Surf & Waves. Guided trips are both full and half-day. You have the choice of skill-builder trips where rescue scenarios are mixed with the expedition, or you can strictly do touring.
Skill level descriptions will be on the website and instructors will be double checking your abilities. So, choose what you think is the most appropriate level. If you intend to register and attend, please contact me to coordinate boat and gear and if you would like help choosing classes/trips. The full schedule and details for registration should be available in December 2019.
Cost: You are responsible for symposium and lodging costs (below) and food (some meals are provided by symposium).
You will need to register through the symposium’s website and pay registration fees (more info below). If you intend to register and attend, please contact me so I can help coordinate boat and gear. Using Hoofers Club Gear makes this much more affordable.
When you look at the variety of guided expeditions and instructional opportunities the value goes a long way. If you need sea kayak equipment we are approved to use Hoofer equipment. This saves the expense of having to rent boats/paddles/skirts.
