We start the first part of the day in a classroom setting and the second part of the day on the water. -Boat designs and characteristics. -Styles of lifejackets and helmets. -Styles of paddles both single and double blade. -Proper kit setups with first aid and safety in mind. -Throw Ropes Class. -Paddle strokes class off the water. -How to read the water and terminology for describing water features and hazards. -Navigating rapids. -How to safely enter and exit your boat. -How to wet exit (decked boats with skirt). -Peeling in and out of current. -Ferrying across current. -One on one time with instructors. Day Two Overview: On the second day we “step it up” depending on the classes progression and skill level as a whole. We provide snacks through out the day as well as shuttle service. During the second day we still continue our lessons in maneuvering the boat and paddle strokes but with the flow turned up. If you are looking to have your first decent down a class 2+ or 3 rapid this is the class for you!
