​

Whitewater kayaking is a sport that is not widespread in Romania, but in recent years the number of people who venture on whitewater and those who are interested in this extremely beautiful sport is increasing.

Whitewater kayaking is an extreme sport that almost anyone can learn by attending classes held by professional instructors.


Why to participate on a course held by a professional?

 

  • you will learn step by step while playing and in a pleasant and fun atmosphere

  • by following the instructions of a professional you can learn safely and progress in the sport much faster

  • if you start kayaking without training you can end up in unpleasant situations that can scare you away from practicing this sport forever, or you can even seriously injure yourself

  • if you learn by yourself or from others who have not taken courses or learned from untrained people, you can develop bad habits that are very difficult to get rid of or only with long practice

​

Being a new sport in the country, there are not enough trained people who are able to teach the basics of rapid water kayaking. We try to eliminate this lack by calling on the services of a recognized instructor (Kis Gabor Bonifac) from abroad, with the help of which we organize multi-day courses for all levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced).​​
