Overview
Supercharge your SUP skills with our immersive weekend clinic!
Want to straighten out your forward stroke? Have more confident eddy-turns and peel-outs? And what about surfing river waves?! Complete beginners are welcome although we recommend starting with a foundation in either flatwater SUP or whitewater (canoe/kayak) – or a strong fitness level.
In addition to lots of paddling time on the water you’ll learn trip-planning, risk management, and general river safety. Students are encouraged to find weekend accommodations at USA Raft Adventure Resort and enjoy camaraderie and conversation with your class, instructors, and river-folk from all backgrounds and disciplines.
