NOLI Beginner Whitewater Kayak Class - Jul 19-20, Lower Nolichucky River, Erwin, TN
If you've ever thought how fun it might be to whitewater kayak and want a comprehensive introduction this is the course for you! Our core class for first-timers and those new to whitewater, the two-day Beginner Whitewater Kayak Course allows participants to experience the thrill of whitewater kayaking while providing more detail and greater opportunity for skill development than our one-day class.
Under the guidance of instructor Brad Eldridge, you will spend the morning of the first day learning about boats, equipment and safety considerations and will be properly outfitted to one of our top-of-the-line whitewater kayaks, life jackets (PFD), helmets, paddles and sprayskirts. We will then take it to the water and over the next two days you will have ample time to practice the fundamentals, strokes and river maneuvers that will help you safely enjoy yourself and gain proficiency.
Class is held on the beginner-friendly class 2/2+ section of the Nolichucky River in beautiful Northeast Tennessee. No experience required and all equipment provided. Age 10+. All instructors carry professional certification through the ACA. Cost is $275. For more information and to register go to
