Please join us in welcoming Kate to the team here at Paddling School!
Kate is a singer/songwriter that bases out of Asheville, NC. She has a passion for paddling and being out on the water, but especially canoeing. We’re stoked to have another female canoe instructor on board (check out the third photo - ALL ladies’ canoe day on the Tuck!), and to share Kate’s energy and expertise with both new and returning students 🤗 come catch her in a class with us or at a weekend gig locally!

Work hard, play hard:
All day rain makes for perfect levels for fluffy after class instructor laps on the upper Nantahala! Here’s some shots of a quick late afternoon jaunt as the water came up. Hope everyone is getting to catch some good water time with the extra flows! Stay safe out there 🤘

Spring means warmer weather, and warmer weather me

Spring means warmer weather, and warmer weather means more people are starting to get out and about on the water. How are your rescue skills looking? What about your self rescue? Are you ready to be pulling your buddy's boat off the rocks? How good are you at deep river wading? When is the last time you grabbed a rope and practiced throwing it - in a bag or coil?

All these skills and more are covered in our Swiftwater Rescue Class, whether you're starting from scratch and learning everything new, or just looking to expand your knowledge and test out some new techniques. With a combination of classroom learning, technical education and practice, and scenario work, our Swiftwater Courses are designed to get you not only thinking about safety out on the water, but being an active participant in your own rescue and the rescue and recovery of others.

Do yourself a favor, do your friends a favor, and be an asset to your group by looking into swiftwater training. 👍

We have 2 day courses offered throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall for those 14 years and older. Check them out here: https://noc.com/courses/swiftwater-rescue-for-whitewater-paddlers/
