Learn to kayak from the best at Reno River Festival
Different Strokes Kayaking offers free whitewater clinics May 10-11
Not only is the Reno River Festival a chance to see the best kayakers in the world go head to head in some fierce whitewater competition, it’s also a chance for spectators to get a little wet and wild during the free whitewater clinics provided by Different Strokes Kayaking (DSK).
From beginner-level courses to advanced techniques and classes for those with mobility and sight impairments, attendees can learn from the best at the Truckee River Whitewater Park in the heart of downtown Reno.
The following is a list of clinics that will take place over the course of the weekend:

ADVANCED
