Packraft Instruction

Learn to Packraft

Whitewater Attainment is excited to be a part of the launch and development of the new American Canoe Association (ACA) Packrafting Instructional program. What is Packrafting? Imagine an inflatable kayak that you could roll up and carry anywhere. The packraft is an excellent tool to access remote rivers and whitewater where taking in a hardshell kayak is not an option. Our packraft courses cover much of the same material that our whitewater kayaking courses do and add more relevant information and adapted techniques for packrafters.
