Potomac Beater
The plan for this channel is to add videos useful to new whitewater kayakers in the Washington DC area. These will include how to find put ins, planning runs on the Potomac, safety information, and descriptions of features at various water levels. I am new to the sport, and documenting my progress- videos are not paddling instruction, make sure to get lessons from a professional. I recommend Calleva's classes.
