Your journey to become a Whitewater Kayaker begins here.
River Kayaking Course
Never paddled before? With our expert instruction and proven methods, you too can be a river kayaker!! It is exciting, safe and fun! We start in the POOL where we become accustomed to our kayaks, learn how to safely get in and out of the boat and introduce the kayak roll. Saturday afternoon we will learn how to perform forward ferries and eddy turns. Sunday we progress to a river run, where there will be plenty of time to practice bracing, eddy turns, ferries and our favourite, SURFING!

Rolling & Bracing Courses
Our kayak rolling and bracing clinics take place in the pool. As you practice you’ll have a safe and comfortable pool environment to learn in, and the water is warm!! The pool is the perfect place to learn, explore and perfect kayak roll basics and just as importantly, to practice bracing. We will guide you through an easy to learn progression of steps to build the important skill of rolling that opens up the gate to confidence in kayaking!
The kayak rolling and bracing clinics are 1.5 hours long. We take you through an easy to follow progression, which will take you from having to bail on your boat to rolling with confidence. We provide equipment (kayak, paddle, skirt) but if you’d like to bring your own you can.
We recommend that you’ve taken a kayaking course before trying our rolling and bracing clinic. If you haven’t, try our river kayaking course to learn some of the basics or call us to talk about other options.
