D4DR Class V Outline |
The D4DR Class V is held in Norway for a reason. This course cannot be run just anywhere. To make the next step in your kayaking you値l need exposure to supreme white water so we could go no where else but Norway. Not only that, but we値l be mobile too, so we can move with the best water conditions.
You値l be kayaking with professional kayakers and guides. They are kayakers first and coaches second so you can be sure that what you learn, is what works.
For 4 weeks we値l tour from classic bedrock runs in Telemark, and Sjoa to the steeps of Hordaland and the West Coast, covering a comprehensive programme, to squeeze the last drop out of the fantastic locations there are in Norway.
During the course we値l sharpen your skills on white water, until you feel at home on steep rapids. We値l teach you how to find your limits and to become independent so that you can feel confident and comfortable in any white water environment.
We will evaluate decision-making processes until this becomes second nature to you, to enable you to make sound judgments on the water for yourself and amongst groups of paddling friends.
The course culminates in Voss on the West coast during Extreme Sport week, where you値l have the chance to acid test your kayaking not only on the steep classics of the area but also against the clock in the downhill sprint race on the Brandseth or face to face with other kayakers in the boater cross.
Whilst on tour you値l learn advanced leadership on white water from the best guides in the industry. You値l complete officially recognised tuition in REC for First Aid and Safety and rescue in the form of SRT Advanced, plus the BCU 5 Star WW Kayak Award
Whether you would like to become a top-notch kayak guide or just want to become the kayaker of your dreams, the D4DR Class V can give you the tools and the techniques you need for the job.
