Whitewater Kayaking WV - Class VI MRThere's more to whitewater kayaking than just sitting in a boat and paddling.  That's why the Class VI kayak school recommends a two day class to get a solid base while learning the sport.  We teach everything from forward and turning strokes to bracing to keep your boat upright in the rapids. 

You'll begin on flatwater and progress toward rapids that suit your abilities, eventually earning an introduction to the "Eskimo Roll".  With all new gear for 2007, two days of instruction at Class VI's kayak school will have you well on your way towards exploring whitewater on your own terms--in a kayak.

Trip Details

  • Two days of instruction means more detail oriented classes, with a focus on how the teaching progression fits your style.
  • Move your comfort level up as you progress.  Our kayak clinics are self contained and can move to whichever part of the river you're ready for.
  • If you've got experience already, our clinics double as a kayak guide service. Just let your instructor know what your ability level is.
