West Coast River Running on SUP

Have you tried paddle boarding on moving water? Looking to step up onto more challenging rivers? 

The total cost of this trip is £650 (for shared room). A £100 non refundable deposit is to be made at time of booking, with final payment due 6 weeks prior to event.

We are running a 4-day coaching trip this October where we will focus on coaching and developing your moving water and white water skills on stand up paddleboard.

The 4 days will focus on personal skill development, equipment for white water, self-rescue and rescue scenarios all in the grade 2 (3) river environment. 

We will be looking at breaking in & out of a flow, ferry gliding, S turns, use of waves, river reading, line choices, river hazards and much more. 

We aim to use the rivers surrounding the Lochaber area; River Spean, River Lochy, River Arkaig and River Oich. However, with the nature of all water-based trips and expeditions we will pick the venues for each day based on water levels and conditions - of which we will discuss with you so you to have the understanding and knowledge to then plan your own river paddles after the trip. If water levels are too high or low, we will have touring available in the local area also. There is the opportunity to be awarded the Paddle Uk White Water SUP personal performance award at the end of this trip as well. 

For this trip we are staying at Roam West near Onich. Roam West has shared rooms, with en suite bathrooms. A drying room and self catering kitchen! Evening meals will be provided by your guides. Breakfast and Lunch is provided by you! Price is based on shared occupancy, single occupancy available at an extra £200.

You may be required to drive to paddle venues. This will be discussed on first day.
