Kayaking Posing after paddling the Hudson River Enjoy the thrill and power of whitewater kayaking and canoeing with the SU Outing Club. SUOC has a number of kayaks and canoes outfitted for whitewater and Syracuse is conviently located near some nice rivers. At rolling sessions we teach the basic skill of exiting a kayak when flipped and the more challenging task of righting oneself with an Eskimo roll to avoid having to use the wet exit. The attendance of a rolling session is mandatory before going on to moving water.
Whitewater is inherently dangerous.
Accidents and mishaps may result in severe injury or death. River levels and difficulties are apt to change suddenly. We therefore take safety very seriously and expect everyone on the trips to do so also. YOU are responsible for getting proper instuction and training before going on a river.
