When Utah’s temperatures skyrocket, there’s no better way to cool off than playing in the water. For me, this summer has been filled with three new watersport experiences! I’ve rafted the Green and Colorado Rivers, wakeboarded at Lake Powell and learned how to roll a kayak…sort of. This photo was taken just after my first practice session with my friend Camine; she’s an excellent kayaker and instructor! I still can’t roll perfectly, but where I’m at now is a big improvement from where I started…upside down. Ready to learn to roll a kayak for yourself?
