Nailed it on the Yarra! Our latest Intermediate Whitewater Clinic was an absolute wrap! We hit the river to move past straight-line paddling and dive into advanced water control. From edge mastery and tight eddy turns to carving up the play waves and taming the surf, everyone stepped up their river-running game. Massive shoutout to the crew for bringing high energy, great lines, and plenty of laughs to the rapids. Ready to join the next progression? Keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming dates!
