Chris started whitewater SUP paddling on the Kennebec 10 years ago and has since paddled all over the US and abroad. Despite paddling in places like the Grand Canyon\, the Soča (Slovenia)\, and the Upper Gauley (WV)\, the Kennebec is still his favorite place to paddle. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this course — and will leave you wanting to spend more time standing on the river! \n\n \n\n Register URL:https://skowheganoutdoors.com/event/full-day-backpacking-trip-august-30-2026/ CATEGORIES:August,Backpacking,Elevate,Hiking ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://skowheganoutdoors.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/event-default.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260831T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260831T160000 DTSTAMP:20260615T184828Z CREATED:20260615T151911Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260615T184828Z UID:4557-1788166800-1788192000@skowheganoutdoors.com SUMMARY:Full-Day Mountain Biking Trip | T2 Bike & Trail Foundations | August 31\, 2026 DESCRIPTION:Intro to Whitewater SUP with Hala Gear\nAugust 7 | 5:00pm – 6:00pm ++\nBallfield\, West Forks\, ME\n  \nA one-hour whitewater SUP clinic for paddlers ready to move from flatwater paddleboarding onto moving current (participants must have prior flatwater paddleboarding experience).
