Advanced Kayak 1 Day Clinic

Take your kayaking skills to the next level on our Advanced Kayak One Day Clinic on the Deerfield River. This clinic is designed for advanced beginners and intermediate paddlers who want to improve their precision and confidence on class two and three rapids. Participants will learn how to break challenging whitewater into manageable sections, plan moves strategically, and execute them consistently. The focus is on building self-sufficient paddlers who can read the river, make smart decisions, and tackle class three features with preparation and control. Paddlers should be comfortable crossing eddylines and have started practicing the kayak roll to get the most from the clinic.

The day begins with a review of fundamental strokes and technique refinement. Instructors tailor the focus to individual needs, helping participants improve a variety of paddling skills. Emphasis is placed on river signals, scouting, and assisted rescue techniques to ensure safety and teamwork on the water. Paddlers practice challenging moves in class two rapids that build the skills necessary to progress toward class three challenges. Through hands-on coaching, guided practice, and real-time feedback, participants gain confidence, improve efficiency, and refine the techniques required for precise and effective whitewater kayaking.
