kayak individual course

Highlights

River kayak is certainly the father of river sports in Italy. Driving the kayak between the currents, the waves and the rapids of a river is a magic that does not require brute force, but technique and harmony with the river. The difficulty of this fascinating sport is given by the degree and characteristics of the river in which we pay. The Adda river, famous for being the longest Italian tributary and for having been the scene of various Italian, European and World Canoe and Kayak Championships, with its morphology ranks first in Italy among the rivers suitable for the initiation of this exciting sport. His bed, varied and changeable, alternates calm strokes with strokes with very didactic rapids with strokes in which he expresses all his power and beauty. The activity of Canoe and Kayak School is coordinated and managed by FICK River Masters and 2nd level Instructors. The activity, if approached in the correct way and with the help of professional technicians, is practicable starting from 6 years of age
