Learn the Basics to get you started in Packrafting or kayaking. The Basic manoevers are the same, with forward strokes, sweep strokes and draws having the same basic technique regardless of the craft you are paddling.
This course will teach you the basics of the packraft including outfitting ( fitting the raft to you), how to set it up, and the basic flatwater strokes and techniques you need to get going. We are able to add some moving water skills to the end of the course to get you excited for the next part of your journey, where you can learn to harness your skills and the ability of the packraft to navigate rapids on any river.
You will be taught by some of Australias best paddlers, and instructors who have many years experience in whitewater. All instructors are fully qualified, and are able to assist you in your journey, providing a fun, safe and friendly environment in which to learn.
The course lasts for 1.5- 2hrs and will get you where you need to go
