Overview

Send your confidence soaring by spending five days with us developing your roll into something you know you can depend on. You'll work with our experts in our indoor heated rolling pool to develop the fundamental techniques, before heading out onto the rivers to test out your skills. There'll be plenty of time to follow up and analyse video footage, correct your faults, work on your weaknesses and build on your strengths in our pool so that you leave with that bombproof roll.

The Objectives

You'll have developed the skills to give you full confidence in your roll, and will have worked on your white water skills too.

Itinerary

* Please note: Itinerary is subject to weather and availability.

What to Expect

You'll spend day one in our pool stress testing your pool roll and developing a robust strategy to ensure you're hanging in there when you capsize. Once we're happy with that, we'll introduce cold water and other stressors on local flat water venues and moving water environments. We'll consolidate this on other river trips with the emphasis on stress testing your roll to make sure it works when it's needed.

Experience Required

You need to have a reliable pool roll already.
