January and February Kayaking in Ecuador
Hey paddlers,
Now’s the time to start planning your winter kayaking
vacation. We’ve got lots of great trips
running in January and February—when winter has it’s strongest hold in North
America—and we are hoping that you’ll join us on 1 or 2 of these trips.
This winter we’ve tried to arrange our schedule to accommodate
both people who want 1 week of kayaking AND people who have a little more time
off and want 2 weeks of kayaking in Ecuador.
These trips (double weeks) are also designed for paddlers of mixed
abilities who want to take paddling vacations together. On these trips, you’ll hang out with your
friends/family in the mornings and evenings, but you’ll paddle separately so
that everyone can paddle at their own level and not be overly pushed or held
back by traveling partners.
So, check it out, arrange your work schedule, and come
paddle with us this winter!
Jan. 15th-23rd—Class
III and Torrents Class IV
This Class III trip
is catered towards people who are super comfortable on Class II, and reasonably
comfortable on Class III but who are looking to improve their skills to the
point that Class III will feel like a walk in the park!
The Torrents Class IV
trip is for solid Class IV paddlers looking for a week of amazing
whitewater in Ecuador! This week will include both big water runs
and steep creeks—variety is the name of the game here.
Jan. 29th-Feb. 6th—Intro
to Creeking Class IV- and Torrents Class IV (for the Class IV Torrents people, stay a 2nd
week and step it up a notch to our Mucha Agua trip Feb. 5th-13th)

IV- and IV runs but who don’t yet have the skills necessary for creeking

Feb. 5th-13th—Mucha
Agua
Bring your creeking game and your elbow pads. Ecuador’s runs at this level of
kayaking are steep, continuous, and full of action—so be sure to bring your
A-game! Warming up with the Torrents
Class IV trip the week before is a great idea to make sure your skills are up
to par.
Jan. 12th-20th—Class
III+ and Torrents Class IV (both of these trips are followed by trips just
slightly harder the next week, so stick around for 2 awesome weeks of paddling
with SWA).
This Class III+ trip
is for people who already have solid Class III skills and are hoping to break
into that Class IV realm. We’ll paddle 7
days of whitewater all the while working on skills to bump your paddling up to
that next level.
