If you have ever fancied white water kayaking running the rapids on the River Dee, then this is the course for you. You will learn a lot as you experience the thrill of kayaking and if you are not superhuman your muscles will be aching for most of the following week! (A great sport for keeping fit!)
We will start off by teaching you the basic skills and working on balance control. Then it's on to the power of the river, where you will learn how to transfer your new and existing skills to allow you to enter and exit out of the flow (known as breaking in and out), move the boat across the flow (otherwise known as ferry gliding) and much more!
This is a great introduction to white water paddling and we promise you will want to do more!
Duckies are best described as a cross between a white water raft and a kayak.ÃÂ The actual ducky is a bit like a fat inflatable kayak which usually carries two people. They are fairly sturdy little beasts and are often used on the same stretches of water as used for white water rafting.ÃÂ To keep you safe and in control, an experienced white water kayaking instructor will provide safety and guidance alongside you. These inflatable crafts are easily maneuvered around the water, enabling you to hit all the rapids on your way down the River Tay.ÃÂ If you are after an adrenalin rush, it is often better to do it after heavy rain when the rivers can get extremely hairy. During the summer months, the Duckies are often used on dam releases to ensure that you get the maximum thrill.
