Overview

Tail squirts, splats, rock-spins, cartwheels, and soul surfing are some of the most thrilling maneuvers in kayaking. This two-day course is designed to cover all the intricacies behind paddling a slicey kayak, which can make you look great on the water and feel amazing. Whether you use a slicey boat regularly or only occasionally, learning to move it around smoothly and efficiently can boost your confidence. These skills not only help you show off to your friends but also prepare you for situations you don’t want to find yourself in through controlled practice. In other words, these are the tools to get yourself out of trouble and into the expressive realm on the river. The first day of the course is dedicated to examining both white water techniques and the specific details of slicey kayaks, learning how to use them to your advantage. On the second day, you will progress to more advanced slicey kayak skills, such as getting vertical, rock-spins, and cartwheels.
