Improve Your Paddling Skills in 2016

December 30, 2015 Paddling School and Courses

Every year we make a resolution that pushes us to be a little bit better, a little bit fitter, at little bit healthier. Rafting down the many Colorado rivers is a great way to fulfill all of those resolutions in one stroke of the paddle. Make 2016 the year where you push yourself a little further, getting yourself ready to take on bigger rapids and more intense whitewater.

Paddling school for river rafting enthusiasts in Colorado

Sure, a nice float with the family down the Green River, with gorgeous scenery and a few class II rapids just big enough to get your heart going is great. But, aren’t you secretly wishing you could take on the bigger class IV-V rapids? It’s the thrill of a lifetime, but you have to be in shape, and you have to know how to handle yourself in a raft, helping to maneuver the wild waters. This requires some serious paddling skills.

Luckily, the Dvorak crew does more than customize adventures on the rivers; we also offer paddling school for those of you who want to push yourself on the river and become a better paddler so that you can handle bigger rapids and more intense whitewater. If your goal is to raft Royal Gorge and it’s famous class V+ rapids, let us help you out. Whatever your skill level, our skilled guides and paddling instructors will have you taking on bigger and better rapids in no time.

Improve your river rafting paddling skills for a mere $125

We’ll help you reach your paddling goals. Our guides you’ll learn:

  • Basic maneuvers
  • The “Eskimo Roll”
  • How to read the waters
  • Where to place your boat as you approach the rapids and
  • Other tactical skills that you’ll need to stay safe

Rafting is always more fun with a few friends, so we offer group lessons, as well as private lessons, with over 100 miles of river from which to choose.

Make 2016 the year of the paddle, and join us on the Colorado rivers for some whitewater thrills as we help you improve your skills!
