Learn to roll your kayak with MITOC, and enjoy burritos (you pay) with optional guacamole (on the club) afterwards!

This will be the first of two September roll sessions (next one is likely Sept. 26), and participants of this session will get priority registration for the next one. Rolling is mostly muscle memory (not strength), so it will likely take at least two (probably more) sessions to learn!

Logistics. Meet your driver by 9:45 AM at the MITOC Boathouse. We'll then drive to Mystic Lake, roll for two hours (until noon), and return. Kayaks and gear will be provided.

Clothing. The water will be cold, and you will be getting wet (a lot) bring a swimsuit, and possibly some wool base layers or wetsuit parts. And bring a change of clothes!!

Costs. $15 trip fee (includes rentals, if needed). MITOC offers generous fee waivers for anyone worried about these costs.

Boat sizes. Boat sizes are approximately by weight. If you are near the border, you can safely size down (for a more playful ride) or up (for a more stable one). Here's a rough guide:

• S: 90 - 140 lbs
• M: 140 - 185 lbs
• L: 185 - 240 lbs

Selection Process. For fairness, this trip will have a 10-hour lottery followed by first-come-first-serve signups. There are three ways to participate:

1. [MIT] Meet at Boathouse/Building N52 at 9:45 AM (first 6 participants)
2. [Car with roof racks] Drive and load boats yourself at 9:45 AM. How many people/boats can you take? (subject to boat availability)
3. [Waitlist] Drive with someone doing option 2 (we'll pull as available)
