Intro to Whitewater Kayaking E-mail
If you like thrills and excitement of whitewater or are simply looking to improve your paddling and boat handling skills on the ocean, try this out. This two day workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of currents and how these currents react around obstacles. You’ll learn how to use the power of the current to work to your advantage as you execute maneuvers that take you across the current with minimal effort, known as ferrying. You’ll also learn how to enter and exit the eddies found behind obstacles in a current and use these eddies once again, to your advantage to make progress along your path. Time will be spent on flatwater and on the river, in an environment that will provide you with a solid foundation of boat handling skills.
This course is an excellent skill-builder for sea kayakers as well, and who knows you may get hooked!
