Richmond is making waves in the whitewater stand up paddleboard community with the world’s first — and so far, only — high school team!

This spring, Trinity Episcopal School outdoor program, in conjunction with Ben Moore of Riverside Outfitters, began training students on the upper James River from Pony Pasture to Reedy Creek. This video captures the team on their first run through the downtown rapids. Catch ’em in action on Mondays and Wednesdays. And, if it looks like fun to you, then head over to our friends at Riverside Outfitters and learn how to ride the rapids yourself!
