Scooby-Doo, Cesar Millan and friends are headed to the National Mall in Washington, DC on September 29th, 2012 for the 2nd Annual National Family Pack Walk event. This is not your average walk in the park; they will be walking to save the lives of dogs at this year’s event.
Cesar Millan will kick-off the event with a one mile Pack Walk. Upon completion of the walk, attendees will return to the event area for an afternoon filled with fun, mystery, education and much more presented by Scooby-Doo, Mutt-i-grees®, North Shore Animal League America and other partners.
For $185, today’s side deal nets semi-private kiteboarding lesson for two (a $370 value) at Kite Club Hatteras, with locations in Avon, NC and Dewey Beach, DE
In one safe, three-hour lesson, Kite Club Hatteras’s friendly, expert instructor will guide riders through the basics of kiteboarding — an extreme water sport that pairs a small board with a large controllable kite to thrust riders across the water’s surface and into the air—in the beautiful Dewey Beach Area, which was awarded SUPERSTAR BEACH STATUS in June 2011.
In a thorough, hands-on class, riders will learn how to set up a four-line inflatable kite, the essentials of kite theory and the “wind window,” and proper procedures for selecting a weather-friendly location and communicating with fellow aeronauts. You’ll then soak in the dashing techniques necessary to perform, learning how to launch and land, fly the kite properly, and generate power to propel the board.
Soon, fusing careful movements with the power of bluster, you’ll defy earthbound physics to swish, cut, and fly above the water. Call to schedule your class.
Kiteboarding in Cape Hatteras April 2011 with Andy and Marlys from KitePaddleSurf.com, Dimitri from Epic Kites and a whole host of folks from the Pacific Northwest and Canada.
In the first episode of “On the Loose,” we’re introduced to professional kitesurfers Aaron Hadlow and Ruben Lenten. Ruben shows us his home turf on the coast of Holland, before we head to South Africa to meet up with 5X World Champion, Aaron Hadlow. The two are reunited when they head to North Carolina to ride some new rails and kickers. After three days of intense boarding, the boys waste no time celebrating at some of the local bars in Cape Hatteras.
Spring and Fall trips offer an exciting, heart pounding experience. Summer trips provide a more mild, family friendly adventure, typically due to lower water levels. The Shenandoah is always a great option for beginner to intermediate paddlers. This popular trip will guide you through the splashing white water of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and is located where Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia come together. River Riders has the expertise, guides, and equipment to meet all your outdoor adventure needs. Come play, only an hour away from both Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD!
This trip is suitable for children 30 lbs and up.
Pricing: The rafting trip pricing varies according to the day of week you would like to go out. Since we are doing this on a Sunday, the price will be for $69 per person and this includes a hamburger hotdog lunch after the trip (weekend trips all come with the lunch). The trips also have a $2 river fee and 6% sales tax on top of these prices. They do have group discounts of $6 off per person if we have at least 12 people in our group and book and pay as a group with one payment.
From the DC Area:
I-270 north to Frederick, MD. Merge with I-70 West at Frederick for about 1/2 a mile, Take Exit 52 – 340 West to Charles Town. Follow US 340 for 16 miles and cross the Potomac River Bridge. Continue 2 miles and cross the Shenandoah River Bridge. Follow 340 to the top of the hill and see Cliffside Quality Inn on the left. Get in the left lane and proceed downhill. (Look to your left and you will see our building – it is a large blue building with a red roof and “River Riders” in black letters on the front.) At the bottom of the hill, turn left onto Millville Road (you will see a large flea market open on the weekends). Once on Millville Road, go three-tenths of one mile and make a sharp left turn onto Alstadts Hill Road. There is also a small blue “River Riders” sign. Follow this road to the last building on the right.
Here’s what I know so far… the rafting trip pricing varies according to the day of week you would like to go out. During the week the prices for the 10am trip are $64 per person and include a hamburger hotdog lunch after the trip. The 2pm does not include lunch and is $55 per person. The Saturday pricing is $74 per person and Sunday is $69 per person and the weekend trips all come with the lunch. The trips also have a $2 river fee and 6% sales tax on top of these prices. They do have group discounts of $6 off per person if you have at least 12 people in your group and book and pay as a group with one payment.
