Are a beginner wanting to learn one of the most popular sports in the world? Are you an intermediate wanting more technical knowledge in order to move on tothe next whitewater challenge? Dvorak's courses are specialized, personal, and professional. Instruction might be a basic as a half day on a lake to learn introductory skills or a 10-day river trip to progress through several skill levels.
