This Intermediate Skills course is an introduction to the left side of Harvie Passage
The aim of this program is to start moving paddlers into self-directed Class II+/III whitewater. In all our programs we aim to have paddlers working on hard drills in whitewater they are comfortable in and then testing those skills on easily managed more challenging sections. We start to work on a lot more combination moves to ensure smooth, efficient paddling and introduce some more complex safety/rescue situations.
After completing this course participants can expect to have a good vision of how skills learned up to this point can maximize efficiency when paddling more challenging whitewater. Reading and using river features will be covered and paddlers will start to be able to 'feel' how using the river can help take their paddling to the next level.
