Spend 3 days improving your skills and techniques in your own kayak or rent the latest freestyle boats. Whether learning to cartwheel for the first time or attempting to loop, we will help you achieve your goals.
Analysis, practice, and video feedback are part of this high-level program. The only requirement is a reasonable roll. We’ll help you “bombproof” it.

1. Starting the Day [ 00:00 ]

It's been a full day of whitewater kayaking but don't run off just yet! Your instructor will provide you with an itinerary for Day 2 and the evening's entertainment options.
