Advanced 2
Do you feel at home on class II whitewater and would finally like to enter more difficult waters? Or are you already often out and about on class III whitewater but would like to be a bit more confident? Then the advanced 2 kayak course is just right for you! We'll show you how much fun more gradients and more water pressure can be if you simply rely on the current and your technique.
In this course, we focus on using the current, estimating lines and navigating tactics in a group, in addition to proper technique. The aim of the course is to develop routine in class III whitewater .
We offer our advanced 2 courses in Tyrol, Corsica, Slovenia, southern France and the Engadine. The course content and schedule vary depending on the course location and duration. Please select one of our numerous F2 courses for detailed information.
