: Whitewater Kayak Full Immersion 2

ALL PADDLING GEAR PROVIDED
Previous experience required, Full Immersion 1 or equivalent is a prerequisite.

This class is offered at our Portland and Bend locations.

Full Immersion Kayak 2 picks up where Full Immersion Kayak 1 leaves off. We focus classroom time on river reading and hazards, pool time allows further exploration into edge control and roll techniques. Spend Saturday and Sunday on two local river runs polishing the principles of boat control. This is an excellent course for any paddler, looking to take beginning skills to the next level or dust off some skills that haven't been used in a while.

Full Immersion Kayak 2 is scheduled monthly year round. Call for details.
