Learn the skills that will take your kayaking to an intermediate level on our one-day Zoar Gap Intensive clinic on the Deerfield River. Find out how to break class III whitewater down into smaller, less intimidating sections and practice planning and executing moves more consistently as you paddle the rapids of Zoar Gap. This clinic focuses on improving your precision kayaking and is appropriate for advanced beginner (class II) and intermediate kayakers.
WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO PREPARE
Goal of the clinic
To help class II and aspiring class III whitewater kayakers move to the next level of the sport and begin to explore whitewater moves on a higher class of whitewater. This clinic focuses on running Zoar Gap as a tool for building solid class III skills.
Who should take the clinic
To take this clinic you must be able to perform eddy turns, peel outs and ferries in class II water, roll (50%) on class II water and effect self rescues. Our minimum age for this clinic is 14.
What will be covered
After a review of basic strokes and whitewater moves, we introduce or improve upon advanced techniques such as the gliding draw, braces, catching micro eddies and peeling out into fast current. Then we spend the rest of the day studying and running Zoar Gap rapid – an excellent location for working on class III whitewater kayaking moves. We will have multiple opportunities to scout and run Zoar Gap with feedback about each run and hints on how to run the Gap in full control.
