Why Austria Preparation for Big Water?

As much as usually it is about going down the river – this course is different. It is more stationary and you will spend a lot of time practicing core skills to help you really trust into them and by increasing difficulting and changing environment prepare you to run big water rivers. To understand what is going there and how to deal with each feature that you can encounter. As usual on top of that enjoying local cuisine and great atmosphere!
