ADVANCED KAYAKING ON THE DEERFIELD RIVER – Dryway River Run

Top 3 Reasons to Go
  1. Learn to run the Dryway with a skilled guide.
  2. Our friendly professional instructors are ACA certified and love passing on their passion for the sport. Our ratio of 1 instructor to 4 students assures lots of personal attention.
  3. Our full service adventure resort offers onsite camping and lodging

Our advanced river runs on the Dryway teach advanced intermediate kayakers and canoeists how to paddle confidently in this class III-IV playground.

Participants in Dryway River Runs should be able to perform eddy turns, peel outs, ferries and self rescues on class III+ and should have solid class III rolls.

Our instructor-to-student ratio is 1:3 and our approach is gradual. We work on developing effective river-running strategies, surfing, running slots and other advanced moves. We also offer the option to walk around any rapid.

WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO PREPARE

Goal of the clinic:

To help class III paddlers move to the next level or kayaking or canoeing by running the Deerfield River Dryway with a Zoar Outdoor instructor.

Who should take the clinic:

Kayakers or canoeists who are comfortable and confident in class III, have a class III+ roll and are interested in beginning to paddle class IV. Our minimum age for these clinics is 14.

What will be covered:

We start with a warm-up and skill check on flatwater and then hop on the Dryway, taking it a rapid at a time and scouting from boat or shore as we go.

“I don't think you've ever had a group come away happier from a class than our group was that night! We went back to my place, and we all critiqued ourselves and each other so we would remember what to remind each other of.  Then we watched tons of video footage as we tried to relate what we had learned to watching other paddlers running the gnar.  Every one of us felt that we had learned a ton, and that it had really increased our confidence.  People kept walking around the house going "What an AWESOME day". “
