Class III River Kayaking

This course offers the perfect mix of both instruction and river running on the most iconic rivers in the Southeast and is great for someone who wants to become a more proficient paddler in Class II-III+ whitewater. Students are challenged to execute difficult moves while in appropriate level whitewater and should already have the following skills:

• A reliable flat-water roll
• A reliable combat roll with a 50% success rate
• The ability to make harder moves in Class II waters, such as crossing strong eddy lines with reasonable control, catching challenging eddies and ferrying in fast current

NOC offers both two and five-day courses to fit different schedules and goals. The five-day is highly recommended if you are looking for more time on the water to hone your skills as participants get to experience a multitude of rivers in the Southeast; Chattooga, French Broad, Nantahala, Nolichucky, Pigeon and Ocoee.

Participants must be 18 years or older.
