Inflatable Kayaking 101: Whitewater Basics
Inflatable kayaks are a fun and challenging way to navigate a river. For those who've never paddled an IK, this video will help you get a feel for these maneuverable craft. From how to hold your paddle to how to climb back in after a swim, we cover many of the basics for inflatable kayaking in rivers.
Many OARS multi-day rafting trips offer river sections that are fun and suitable for inflatable kayaking. The use of these and other craft on any trip is at the discretion of the assigned guides. Check out the trip literature on our trip pages to see if your trip has IKs as a boat option. https://www.oars.com/multi-day-trips/
