Join our top coaches for a five-day program designed to hone your paddling technique and take your skills to new heights. Ideal for competent grade 3 paddlers with some experience of grade 4 and a reliable whitewater roll, this program promises an exhilarating and skill-enhancing experience.
Throughout the week, you’ll be working closely with our highly experienced and qualified coaches on advanced rivers of grade 3-4(5), exploring different styles such as tight, technical, or bigger volume paddling, all depending on water levels. As the week progresses, you’ll enjoy fantastic paddling and feel your skill level soar, resulting in a significant improvement in your techniques.
Taking you from the grade 3 environment into grade 4 (5), working on paddling skills for a steeper environment.

You’ll be spending most of your time on advanced rivers of grade 3-4(5). We’ll aim to get you on different styles of river e.g. tight and technical and bigger volume, depending on water levels.
You’ll need to make sure you’re fit enough for five challenging days on advanced water, and have kayaked regularly before attending.
