I can’t say enough good things about this phenomenal course! The value to any paddler is beyond measure. Not only is the course beautifully filmed, but it’s so well-organized with lots of graphics at just the right places. I really appreciate that the approach used has only one person at a time teaching – no unnecessary back and forth chit chat, humor or distracting music when people are talking. Lavalier microphones were used so even when someone is narrating from their boat or the shore, the rapids aren’t drowning out the speaker’s voice. Thank you for creating this amazing course and for making it so affordable.

What a huge help Online White Water has been to us. We learned drills to help us roll, its working. We learned drills to help us edge better, paddle better, read the water better, improve our fitness further, and a lot about safety and rescue. Having clear, easy to understand videos to watch again and again has been priceless. We have been able to learn in baby steps and progress very quickly. If we forget something, which we all do, we just go back to video and watch it again.
