Stop guessing your way down Grade 2/3.

​

This course is for paddlers who enjoy Grade 2 and wish to access more difficult runs with confidence. We focus on reading the water to fully understand what effect it will have on both ourselves and the boat, allowing us to make reliable decisions that enable us to work with it rather than fight against it.

​

During the time you spend with us, we will aim to build on fundamentals that give you confidence in your paddling ability and help you progress independently in your own time.

​
