Kayak: Up the Ante (Novice)

Are you a novice paddler ready to take the next step and feel more confident on the river? This course is designed to help you harness the river’s power, use its features alongside your strokes, and take control of where you go—rather than letting the river decide for you.

Once you’re comfortable with your roll, we’ll move from Dutch Lake to the Clearwater River, introducing you to straightforward rapids with clear, easy-to-read channels. You'll start to understand how the river moves, learning to work with its flow instead of against it. As you refine your roll in river currents—vastly different from still water—you’ll build confidence navigating the rapids.

Think of running rapids as solving a dynamic puzzle rather than braving an overwhelming challenge. With consistent feedback and guidance, we’ll help you refine your skills so you can paddle with poise and control.
