Spaces are limited for all of the above to 4 people - we like to keep numbers low so we can focus on specific coaching requirements for each individual.

All equipment is provided, however people are welcome to use their own equipment. We have a wide range of specific river boards for you to try.  

 

Please note that these sessions are not designed for beginners. Some basic experience is required. Participants need to be able to paddle efficiently on both sides, able to turn the board effectively and ability to self rescue.
