Intro Kayak Moving Water

This two‐day Paddle Canada course is thoughtfully designed as an introductory experience to whitewater kayaking. It introduces paddlers to key concepts and the foundational basics of river running, all within a safe and supportive environment. The course begins by covering essential concepts and flat‐water skills, such as forward paddling and turning, which provide a solid base for beginners. We then progress to navigating rapids, which are friendly and manageable for newcomers, allowing participants to add moving water skills, such as catching eddies, enabling a safe and enjoyable descent on the river. On the second day, we refine our techniques, focusing on linking these skills together to continuously and confidently navigate the river’s dynamic flow.
