Spend the Afternoon Learning Whitewater Kayak Rolling

We often warm up with a review of some paddling skills in flat water, concentrating on ensuring proper fit in the boat, maximum use of the hips, and minimum reliance on the paddle. Most people will learn either the modified sweep roll and/or the c-to-c (and any other variations students want to try). Depending on your level, we may move to the river for work on rolling in real river situations.

Don’t let an inability to roll hold you back! Rolling is one of the essential kayaking techniques that can make paddling a joy by lessening the fear and hassle of swimming in whitewater. Our instructors are American Canoe Association (ACA) certified and have many years of experience teaching rolling to a variety of students. Their kayaking tips can help you move from practicing hip snaps to learning the paddle motions to rolling in a logical progression.

Our low student-to-instructor ratio assures that you will receive the personalized attention our instruction program is known for. Our flexible instruction method is accommodating to people with different body types and makes learning fast and enjoyable.
