FIVE DAYS

I am teaming up with Adam Robson of heart and Soul Adventures for this full week of coaching and guiding aimed at those with little or no moving water experience and to give you the skills to paddle easy white water with style and confidence.

Starting on a stunning lake we'll peel back the basic skills, re-evaluating them, finessing them and tweaking them to make them suitable for more complex moving water. Along the way we'll learn some new skills and techniques too. The emphasis will be on developing our understanding of how the canoe interacts with the water and how we can maximise our control.

As the week progresses we'll move onto some easy (grade 1/2) rivers to test our new skills, taking the time to play, make mistakes and develop organically with some appropriate challenges.

Towards the end of the week the aim is to paddle a grade two river trip and put all of the skills into practice.

​During the week we'll work on and explore the following:​

• Core Flatwater Skills; forward paddling, effective turns both static and on the move, maintaining stability.​

• Moving Water Skills; crossing the flow, getting into and out of eddies, running simple rapids.​

• Reading and understanding moving water and how the canoe interacts with it.​

• Working tactically on the river to keep everyone safe.​

• What outfitting is appropriate and how we can maximise it.
