Anyone interested in an early afternoon run on the Wenatchee from Peshastin or Roadside?

What class is this? I'm new to kayaking and want to get out there.

Class 3. Wavetrains. A few non-retentive holes. Great play waves and play features.
The Wenatchee is a wide river, so having a roll is a strong positive.
As a beginner, it's good to run this section with at least 2 other boaters so that if you swim there is someone to assist you to shore and someone to chase the boat. (Hold onto your paddle.)

I have my roll during practice, but I still need to get my combat roll more fluently. I can swim and don't need assistance getting to shore. Just need help at grabbing the paddle. if you do decide to go (alone or with other paddlers) and don't mind having a beginner, please let me know.

I meant grabbing the boat, not the paddle
