Learn the skills and strategies for dealing with very strong and challenging currents. We start by refreshing paddling skills and reviewing theory. We then head out to play in the currents and build confidence as the currents increase. Currents are up to 10 knots and participants have a safety veto to ensure everybody feels comfortable. This is a great class to build rough water skills and broaden knowledge in moving waters. This intensive course is not for the faint of heart.
