DESCRIPTION
Experience a one-day advanced course on the classic Soča River, paddling sections from Class III to IV+. The Soča is an ideal training ground for paddlers looking to master their craft, offering clear instructional features in an iconic and surreal setting.
This course is aimed at paddlers who want to refine fundamental to advanced paddling mechanics and apply them in a more demanding whitewater environment. From our experience, this course delivers the best results when at least two days are booked.
