The ZEN MASTERS Weekend Intro to Whitewater Kayaking is a special, introductory experience with legendary whitewater expert Gerry Moffatt designed to provide enthusiastic beginners with a world-class, confident foundation in kayaking skills and a taste of authentic adventure.  Students build a solid foundation in; rolling, paddling technique, swift water safety, and river navigation.

Starting with a Zenergy pool session for wet exit and beginning roll practice, students familiarize themselves with basic safety skills before progressing to one of Idaho’s pristine mountain lakes to learn paddling strokes and refine techniques on flat water. Students then take what they’ve learned onto moving water – learning to navigate and maneuver their kayaks down easy, beautiful sections of Class I-II sections of river. ZEN MASTERS ensures that students grow with confidence, proficiency and fun in their boats. Students have the opportunity to benefit from personal coaching and learning material to help them cultivate a powerful “Beginner’s Mind” approach to embracing challenges, both on and off the river.
