DYNAMIC KAYAKING WEEK
2022 Dates: August
Our dynamic kayaking week is based on a class 3 kayaker that is looking to improve their skills, techniques and confidence.
We will look into the modern dynamic style of river running and basic river tactics using classic local features where we can break down moves and go over them again and again.
This week is all about having fun with likeminded paddlers who are looking to try something new, have fun on the river and discover the incredible whitewater mecca of Voss, Norway.
Week layout
Day 1 : Arrival day, Fly into Bergen, train to Voss. Get settled in accommodation
Day 2 : Fitted into boats, evaluate gear. Warm up on Vosso. A nice big volume run.
Day 3 : Stranda, Build on skills from previous day.
Day 4 : Raundalen, Playrun. Half day.
Day 5 : Upper Jordalen, just like Scotland.
Day 6 : Pick your favourite run and run it again!
Day 7: Repeat from the previous day .
Day 8: Saturday: Departure day, drop off at Voss train station.
This is a rough layout of the week, as we know the whitewater environment can change depending on the groups ability and skill level. Also the weather is a strong factor and any unforeseen circumstances
