Overview
Whether you’re a solo paddler or tandem team eager to master your craft, this five-day course is designed to boost your confidence in rolling on both flat and moving water.
You’ll start by working with our experts in our indoor heated rolling pool, focusing on the essential techniques that form the foundation of a strong roll. Then it’s time to test your newly acquired skills on the rivers, accompanied by video analysis sessions to correct faults, work on weaknesses, and build on your strengths.
The week isn’t solely about rolling. We’ll also help you enhance your whitewater skills, giving you complete confidence in your abilities. The emphasis is on building a reliable skill set, with day one typically devoted to assessing skill levels and setting goals. The rest of the week is tailored to participants’ needs and may include rolling in various environments like rivers, surf, or sea, and honing personal paddling techniques.
The Objectives
You’ll have developed the skills to give you full confidence in your roll, and will have worked on your white water skills too.
