NNWW
NNWW provides Certified Instruction through the American Canoe Association and Rescue 3 International. Courses are for guides, recreational boaters, outdoor adventure enthusiasts, and agency field staff working on or near water. I offer accessible instruction that meets the need of the participant, from new boaters to experienced boaters ready to learn advanced skillsets or a different craft. I operate all things inflatable, but students may choose to bring a hardshell or their own watercraft.

What if I don't own a boat?
ACA Level 4 Swiftwater Rescue courses and Rescue 3 International WRT-Pro courses include the use of a NNWW raft and NNWW inflatable kayaks as needed at no extra cost. For Rowing Clinics, students may request a rental raft for $100. Rental rates are $100 for a raft with frame and oars and $25 for an inflatable kayak. NNWW rentals are only available to customers currently booked on a clinic or course. You are encouraged to bring your own watercraft to any course.

Reviews for NNWW
"Swift water training is not just for the professional boater. As a private boater, I found this class to be a extremely valuable experience. I left with a greater confidence in my abilities and a deeper understanding whitewater safety.!"
