Kayak Rolling Instruction - Volcanic Hot Springs
Let
the hyperthermic waters of Volcan Michimahuida
supercharge your learning process. We have
found the perfect location for teaching the
kayak roll - protected from cold water and
weather. Our hot spring classes go rain or
shine, keeping our students in total comfort.
The waters are so inviting you will want
to be underwater without hesitancy - which
is the single most important factor in learning
the kayak roll. With these warm tranquil
waters and our expert instructors, there
will be no time lost. You will learn more
in three
day sessions than in three years of trying
to learn on your own in the river. Better
than the swimming pool because the warm waters
help in muscle relaxation and recovery. The
hot springs of Michimahuida are nestled in
a deep valley off of the dormant volcano
Michimahuida. Steaming mist, flowering bushes,
giant ferns, and native coihue trees, make
up a virtual botanic garden surrounding the
hot springs...
New Kayaker Week
This
kayak school class is designed for the first
time paddler. Our kayak instruction program will introduce
to you the basic kayaking strokes, boat control,
wet exits, and the Eskimo roll, before
we take
you on moving water. The kayak lessons presented in this course will give
you a solid foundation that will allow
you to rapidly
make progress in the sport of whitewater
kayaking. Over the course of a week you
will learn the
basics of kayak eddy turns, peel-outs, ferries,
and the fundamentals of edge control. During
the middle of the week we usually take a
rest day from kayak lessons that will allow you the opportunity
to
take advantage of the numerous other optional
multisport activities in this spectacular
Patagonia wilderness. The last two days
of our kayak
school are devoted to day-long kayak river
trips, where we will put all of the paddling
instruction fundamentals together...
