These videos might be BORING to the untrained eye… But , if you’re interested in elevating your packraft skills- becoming a better paddler - using your strokes intelligently combined w/ body mechanics…. 😎

This “boring” stuff is actually fascinating! We certainly make learning fun. Good paddle techniques create safer trip partners- but you’ll have more fun packrafting as your skills increase.

It’s really da bees knees.

We have space a few spots available in most of our L1 “Foundations,” L2 “Whitewater Essentials” and L3 “Intermediate Whitewater Skills” courses
