Detailed attention is given to the execution of more demanding paddling techniques, and a greater emphasis is given to the mastery of the swifter moving water. There is also a brief description of number of waterways and rivers in Slovenia, suitable for paddling at your level.

Individual Kayak Course
If you wish to have a private and more intensive refresher course of your existing skills and you have a desire to build on your knowledge, then this is the course for you. This course is one on one basis tailored to your individual needs and requirements and skill levels. As part of this type of course in classic kayaking style we also make available the classes in rodeo kayaking as well as the actual competition kayak slalom training.

Eskimo Roll Course
As part of building on your personal skill levels the Eskimo roll is an essential maneuver without which the enjoyment of the sport in safety is not really complete. If you wish to tackle higher difficulty grades of rapids, and do not want to swim all the time and keep bailing out the water after every rapid then an Eskimo roll course is a must. During summer months the course is set in a swimming pool at SKOK SPORT Centre.
