When descending a waterfall or drop, there is one moment that matters more than any other: the lip.

The way you interact with the lip determines your boat angle, your line, and ultimately whether your descent is controlled and safe. Once you’re in free fall, there’s very little you can change, the ...

If you've ever looked over the lip of a waterfall, heart racing, paddle steady, wondering what comes next, you'll know there's nothing in kayaking quite like that moment. If you haven't experienced this thrill yet or you want to dial your skills for bigger drops, then you will love our newest course...

Many of us were originally taught that the “classic” break-in angle is a simple 45 degrees. Hit the eddy line at that angle, lift the edge, carve into the flow, job done.

But in reality, it isn’t quite that simple. There is no single magic angle that works for every river, every eddy, or every padd...

When you’re paddling whitewater, one of the most important - and often most intimidating - features you’ll encounter is the stopper. Known by other names, such as a hole, a hydraulic, or a pour-over, stoppers can make or break a run. They can slow you down, flip you, or hold you in place if you’re n...

Rolling is one of the most valuable skills in a white water kayaker’s toolkit. For many paddlers, developing a consistent, reliable roll feels like a significant milestone but can also be frustrating to learn for many. The good news? It doesn’t have to be.

Whether you’re learning to roll for the fi...

When you think of kayaking, you probably picture carving through rapids, catching big features, or throwing tricks on a playwave. But here's the thing, real control, the kind that makes all that look smooth and effortless, starts somewhere a lot quieter: flat water.

Practising carving turns on f...

Last month, our team packed up the gear and headed to southern France to film two brand-new courses—one on kayak rolling and the other on white water strokes.

Simon was already out in Catalonia, filming a Greenland rolling course for our sister platform, Online Sea Kayaking. Meanwhile, James and Da...

When paddling as part of a team in moving water, having the right personal kit is crucial for safety, efficiency, and comfort. While there are both group and individual kit requirements, this guide will focus on the personal equipment you need to be a valuable member of the team and ensure a success...

 Paddling power, endurance, and injury prevention are all crucial elements of becoming a better kayaker. Yet, many paddlers focus solely on time in the boat, neglecting a key aspect that could take their skills to the next level: strength and conditioning. That's why we're thrilled to introduce our ...
