Roll stronger. Rescue smarter. Build confidence in moving water.
A focused whitewater workshop for paddlers who want to improve their roll, become more comfortable upside down and learn practical rescue skills for real river situations. Train with Andrey Coto, ACA Level 4 Whitewater Kayak Instructor and ACA Swiftwater Rescue Instructor, with more than 20 years of international whitewater experience. This workshop combines technique, repetition and realistic river scenarios. We work on developing a stronger and more reliable roll, improving body position and recovery, practicing self-rescue and assisted rescues, and learning how to respond calmly when something goes wrong on the river. The goal is not just to help you roll your kayak. It is to help you become a safer, more confident and more capable paddler.
