Whitewater kayaking entry level

This course starts from zero, assuming only that you can swim (which you will). You will move swiftly through basic techniques such as wet exit, how to use the paddle for various strokes, moving in and out of eddies, reading the features of the river, etc. The goal is to get you ready to paddle easy whitewater safely on your own.

The course is usually held in Säveån outside Gothenburg, an ideal place for beginners to take their first steps. We sleep in tents during the course, but if you live close by, you might of course go home at night.

Kayaks, wet-suits, life-jackeys and other equipment is provided by Uteguiderna.
