    hey guys,

    I'm not a total novice. I've been in and out of kayaks over the years and I'm comfortable in small boats and generally in the water.

    I've never learned to roll though and I think this is key to getting onto more interesting rivers, including our very own Curraghower Wave in the heart of the city.

    Where would be a good place to learn the necessary skills? I've checked out both the UL kayak club and Limerick Canoe Club pages but they seem fairly dormant.
