Group courses build a fantastic foundation and strong paddling community, but private instruction offers targeted refinement tailored entirely to your personal goals.
Our instructors analyze your stroke mechanics, body position, and river reading in real time to zero in on your specific bottlenecks and give you immediate, actionable drills.
Whether you are supplementing your group learning or looking for a customized session, personalized coaching is available April through September for all skill levels—from novice boaters building confidence to experienced paddlers honing advanced freestyle or boof techniques.

7 miles or 14 miles—how do you like your White Salmon adventure? 🌊⚡

September = Tieton River releases. Thanks to scheduled dam releases, the Tieton delivers 12 miles of non-stop, Class III+ excitement.
But the adventure doesn't stop when you step out of the raft—the Tieton corridor is home to incredible primitive camping right along the water, perfect for pitching a tent and soaking in the cool valley nights.

Imagine running Class III big water all day with a completely empty kayak, then pulling onto a massive white sand beach where a hot meal is being prepared for you.
That is the reality of our 6-day Main Salmon Kayaking Expedition. Accompanied by Wet Planet’s kayak instructors and gear-carrying support rafts, this trip is a premier wilderness training ground. Whether your goal is to master advanced water-reading, dial in your roll in moving water, or just spend a week paddling through America's largest protected wilderness, this is where you want to be.

Tieton season kicks off next weekend! This dam-release gem brings warm weather, fast flows, and splashy fun to late summer—right when most rivers are running dry (not you, White Salmon!). It’s one of our favorite seasonal additions and a great way to keep the stoke going into September.
