Dynamic Kayaking

Our dynamic kayaking week is based on a class 3 kayaker that is looking to improve. Look through the glass of whitewater kayaking in a whole new light. We will look at your skills as a whole and break down bit by bit the hard side of things.

We will look into the modern dynamic style of river running and basic river tactics that will make sense. We know the spots to break down moves and run them again and again. This week is for people looking to try something new and find out that Voss is not just for the big boys of whitewater kayaking!

Week layout

Day 1 : Arrival day,Fly into Bergen flesland, 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
