GOAT ISLAND TOUR 

RIVER 1 RUN


​​Description:
Participants with basic established flat-water foundation will transition to moving water.  Starting at Nechako River Side Park, participants will practice and learn the foundation set of skills needed to safely advance into moving water. The afternoon will be spent practicing and paddling to Goat Island. The course focuses on personal safety and managing hazards on the river using skills learned.

Goal:
​​The aim of the clinic is to get participants paddling comfortably on the moving water. By developing knowledge of basic river features and paddling techniques, participants will learn to navigate in a simple but dynamic river.

Results:
After completing this course, participants can expect to feel comfortable taking a personal (unguided) SUP trip on Class 1 rivers. They will have a better understanding of the potential hazards that a river may pose, along with a variety of new skills that can be applied to the moving water environment.
