Moving Water Skills Class

July 2025

Rivers are fun to paddle. The current can make a long day on the water easy, or it can make it very tiring. Proper form and technique can help you enjoy the most a river has to offer. From riding the current to relaxing in an eddy, proper skills and knowledge can make your day on the water safer and more enjoyable.
We will spend the first half of the class with some discussion and basics on land, then we will get on the water to review strokes and techniques. For the second half of the class, we will paddle up to a moving water feature and learn about spawning, reverse ferrying, ferrying, eddying out, and other moving water skills.
This class is intended for the beginner paddler ready to get out on moving water. You should have paddled a handful of times before, however, anyone who is interested in learning new skills or honing existing ones, is welcome to attend. Space will be limited. If you are unsure if you are up for it, please reach out with any questions. Our instructors are certified Level 2 & Level 3 River Kayaking Instructors who love kayaking and love seeing others gain skills to take their kayaking to the next level of enjoyment.
