Whitewater Kayak School
Me2 Outdoor Center · Kobarid
Are you curious to try the most thrilling whitewater sport or have you already found the love for whitewater kayaking and want to learn more? In either case, a kayak school is the right option for you.
We offer one-, three-, and five-day courses, where you can learn systematically and deepen your understanding of this wonderful discipline. Our instructors will teach you all the techniques needed to navigate the rapids safely and progress in your skill level.
The stunning Soča River is a haven for kayakers worldwide because of its natural beauty, varying levels of technicality, and diverse sections ranging from Class II (gentle) to Class V (extreme). This makes the Soča an ideal location to both start learning and refine your paddling abilities.
Our one-day course covers essentials like gear setup, primary paddling strokes, re-entry after capsizing, and introductory hydrology concepts.
During our three-day program, we delve further into foundational whitewater kayaking principles while also focusing on effective communication strategies during trips down the river. By committing to three full days, participants typically internalize good practices early on which prove invaluable later.
Finally, our comprehensive five-day course allows us to fully immerse ourselves in mastering these elements across various stretches of the river tailored to individual progression rates. It’s here too that students get introduced to crucial self-rescue maneuvers necessary for continued safe participation in the sport.
