2-day beginner course
This course is aimed for the one that is curious about kayaking and has decided to give it a proper try!
Introduction
After our first introduction we will dive straight into it – we go through the gear you will be using, and get you fitted into your kayak for the next two days. Then we drive to the river, and have a safety briefing before we get into the water. The first day will be spent on flat water where you will learn the basic paddling techniques and river safety. Then each day we will take small steps towards making you proficient in current and smaller rapids, and make sure you get a real taste for the river.
Difficulty & Safety
No previous kayaking skills are required for this course. The course will be held on an almost flat section of the river (class 1-2). You will get warm paddling gear and an experienced kayak instructor will lead you through the course.
