Education
Rafting and kayaking school
The main purpose of these videos is to provide first hand information on river, safety and rafting as a sport. To make these videos, many experts and volunteers came together and put a lot of effort. The videos were shot in different places in search of suitable conditions to best represent the sport of rafting.
The kayak courses are held on the mother river in Bulgaria – Struma. All the necessary skills can be acquired and consolidated there.
