White Water Essentials

This Year Backcountry has teamed up with Matt Haydock of Rapid development, in an effort to continue the development of Packrafting Safety awareness with the UK. My thoughts are 'Us as Packrafters don't have to re-invent the wheel (boat) as there is a well rounded and fully developed pathway to recreational paddlers to access information and training. We're tapping into years of knowledge and experience, letting our wonderful sport grow in a safe and logical manner...

Course date 5th 6th September 2020 Book online

I have been pointing packrafters in Matts Direction for a while now.
Matt is a top level Hardshell coach that worked hard to understand the specific needs of Us Packrafters.
This course is aimed at current packrafters who are looking to begin the mastery of moving water, enabling you to expand your Packraft adventures...
