This two day course emphasizes rescue from situations commonly encountered by river runners. Learning how to navigate whitewater rivers with confidence and control takes a good deal of practice. If you're new to whitewater boating or your agency is using an inflatable raft in swiftwater, you need additional training. This one day clinic features running the river in paddle and oar powered rafts with a specific focus on the techniques required for maneuvering to pre-designated locations within rapids, and a slow controlled decent. Anyone in the river environment can make an error, the sign of competency is making the right correction instead of compounding the problem.
Many boaters just run the river and learn from 'hard rocks' over time.
Practicing advanced techniques by design is the quickest way to integrate knowledge into reliable skills. Give me a call to scheduled dates and locations for groups of eight or more. I have over 39,000 miles and 28 years experience in whitewater navigation. Have skills - will travel. You can also elect to substitute another person to take your place.
