Gene17's River Flow Newsletter

After another good winter in Devon, our spring season has just started in Slovenia. Both Jakub Sedivy and Simon Westgarth are on the Soča. First up was our Next Generation Training course, a kind of boot camp for those wish to join the industry. Throughout the rest of April, we'll have our Soča LaunchPad trip, indeed to start the season in a good way by working through old unwanted habits with our precision coaching.
Clearly another good start to the season. During May and June in Valsesia still has some availability in the middle weeks. The snow conditions acorss Piemonte in Italy our princpal spring creeking destinaiton looks great. We're expecting a good spring in Valsesia. Recently we have added the option to do short courses in Valsesia, plus a coaching only option "Creek Week".

Morning expresso awaits in Italy for those spring creeking days.

There is nothing better than dusting off the winter blues, than a clean lip off a perfect spout into a plunge pool.
Steep Creeking in spring is what Piemonte is all about.
A fine granite bedrock destination, full of clean drops, slides and rapids, all fair white water to enjoy.
Piemonte has a unique culture, with great local food and good selections of beer and wine to help polish off another day of pool drop perfection.
On all of our trips there is of course a large slice of coaching.
This coaching is not planned lessons, but a series of sessions that target individual needs and focus on performance to simply get more fun out of your paddling.
It's always big smiles when great lines are run.
Off the water the great service does not stop, all our all inclusive trips include accommodation, local airport pick up, premium kayak hire and all the river shuttles of course.
