White Water Course '09

The Pure Liquid Kayaking 'Introduction to WhiteWater' course went really well this winter season, with the paddlers rapidly progressing to run the 'Loop' section of the River Dart by day four out of six.  Considering some of the paddlers had never been on a river before, and had only started paddling in summer '09, that is a considerable achievement.  In fact, the two paddlers pictured here on the last day of the course, (Rob and Andy) had done so well that they were able to get their BCU Three Star Training signed off too.  Bonus!  Well done guys!  And yes, it was a bit chilly that day, but that didn't stop them running the 'Loop', including boofing the 'Washing Machine', and eddy-hopping down Triple Drop!  Awesome!
