Ready set go!
The season has started and we are busy prepping the store so we will be ready to take care of all of your last minute needs before your trip.
Just a couple of tips and items to bring along with you!
Do you have eye wear that you must take with you on your river trip? You must not forget the Chum straps for them you surely wouldn’t want to loose them in the New River. Expensive sunglasses and eyeglasses alike have an uncanny ability to disappear when you least expect it. Chums, and other similar straps, are a very inexpensive insurance policy.
Spring in West Virginia offers some of the best rafting of the year. Big…fun…and oh yeah, a little bit chilly…but the right prep-work will allow you to stay warm and have fun!
During early Spring Trips the water temperature is in the mid 40’s (oh) so you will definitely want to rent a wetsuit. Also don’t forget to dress in layers of fleece or synthetics that dry quickly and will keep you warm even when wet. Cotton must be avoided – you want to be able to enjoy the incredible spring whitewater!
Lets not forget about sunscreen and the grape taste of Songer’s lip balm! Yes…we have our own….and yes…it IS purple!
Last but not least my most favorite thing to have is a water proof camera to capture all those great faces as your going through the rapids. You can purchase any of these items when making your reservation and we will have them ready for you upon checking in for your river trip.
Spring is a great time to enjoy the river…I look forward to seeing you in the store soon!
