Whitewater Rafting, Canoeing and Kayaking Safety Classes
Oregon Safety Class Providers
A weekend-long swiftwater rescue class is presented by Michael of Riverstone Adventures out of Bend Oregon. New to rafting, the first piece of gear to buy is a wet-suit or drysuit. The colder you get, the more rapidly your energy level and presence of mind diminish, the two things you need most in an emergency situation.
We have long evangelized about the swiftwater rescue class, and rightfully so: essential for responsible boaters to know. A river running safety class being offered somewhere in the region, but not nearby for many of us "Southern Oregonian". It would be good to host a safety course in our neighborhood in the not-too-distant future.
