White Water Kayaking - Introduction
Our white water kayaking introduction course is a weekend for kayakers who wish to try their skills on white-water, or for novice white-water paddlers who are looking to build confidence and control by improving and refining their technique.
Our aim is to coach you in white-water skills and techniques like breaking-in and out of the current, ferry gliding across the current and surfing on standing waves and small stoppers. River reading, rescue and safety on white-water are all an integral part of the course.
A Range of Rivers to Choose From
The venue for each day will depend on the weather conditions and the level of the rivers. We are within 15 minutes of the River Dart and the upper Tamar and Exe are within easy reach.
The Lower Dart is grade 2 and an ideal section of the river for a first venture on white-water. The upper Tamar offers some excellent grade 2 water created by a series of fishing weirs, this river is little used and provides a brilliant days paddle on a beautiful section of the river.
