Inflatable Kayak School

Inflatable Kayak School

Learn to “Ducky” the Rogue River

Program Description

We bring inflatable kayaks along on most rafting trips for people to try out, but this trip will be geared toward those that want to “ducky” the entire Rogue River. Inflatable kayaks offer a great perspective on seeing the Rogue’s plentiful wildlife. You’ll achieve a sense of accomplishment as you attack each rapid with your paddle, and the Rogue’s large pools at the base of each rapid offer a nice place to recover if you need to catch your breath (or your paddle!).

Why Choose Inflatable Kayaks?

Inflatable Kayak School is meant for those who seek the thrill of paddling whitewater in a kayak, but without the steep learning curve that is required for hardshell kayakers. Kayaking is a sport that can take years to master, but just about anyone can tackle the Rogue River in an inflatable kayak, or ducky, especially under the leadership of our instructors.

Our instructors will give a detailed safety talk before starting out on the trip, and they’ll guide you through each rapid. If your IK flips, they are there to help recover your boat or paddle. The trip will have large oar boats to carry all of the gear we’ll need to set up a comfortable camp each evening. These boats also act as “ducky mamas” by providing a large visual for the line of “duckies” to follow through each rapid.

Camping Along the Rogue River

You’ll arrive in camp each afternoon with tired arms and giant smiles. The instructors and guides will prepare a feast to get you ready for the next day’s adventures. You can enjoy the blanket of stars overhead as you discuss your triumphs of the day and the trials that await you tomorrow.

The Rogue is known for its amazing riverside camps and unspoiled wilderness. This is a great way to improve your skills and enjoy the Rogue!

I recently spent a week on the Rogue River with Lori and JR from Sundance Kayaking school and it was AMAZING!!!! I’m looking forward to going on another kayaking adventure soon and hope to be able to learn more from them again!

The experience was the highlight trip of my summer. I had been “making” it down the river, but that’s it. I felt like I was kayaking a bunch, but reached a point that I wasn’t getting any better. The instruction I received from your great group of instructors has been so helpful. They gave me so many techniques/paddle strokes to work on and they helped me with the bad habits I had developed. There wasn’t a single instructor that I didn’t think was great and enjoyable to be around, both on and off the water.

The guides and others created a FUN and safe environment that allowed me to get out of my comfort zone.  JR’s teaching is a combination of silly, serious and encompassed in a positive energy and a can-do spirit.

My family loved every moment of our week long kayaking school. Not only did the wonderful and fun guides teach us how to kayak and roll, but we also established friendships and memories that I know will last for a lifetime. Thank you, Sundance! We can’t wait for our next trip.

My instructors make maneuvering through challenging cross currents look effortless, but I have learned that there are no short cuts to doing so myself. Every time I enter a new rapid, I know a community of paddlers supports me.

In my years as a river guide and in my own trials at learning to kayak I have seen many go through the progression and take up a paddle. But learning how to kayak is not easy and can involve overcoming some very innate fears. Of all the teachers I have encountered none have so effectively turned that fear into fun as Sundance Kayak School.
