River Running

Breaking in and out of eddies, running a new drop or just bimbling down a bit of grade 2 with your mates, running a river can be one of the most rewarding pleasurable experiences in the world. It requires skill and nerve to navigate your way down a river and it is not to be taken lightly. We train our members to run rivers safely and the BCU have awards to grade a paddler's skill. You can train to become a river leader and teach others to get the most out of the river. Before running a river you must have the right equipment;

buoyancy aid, helmet and spray deck are all essential items to keep you safe and having fun on the river.
