Prolonging the life of your white water dry suit

A white water dry suit is the standard and has become quite normal for a kayaker to wear. Whether you have just finished a beginner course, a class 2 kayaker or heading up the grades of difficulty in white water, a dry suit has become an essential piece of equipment.
Not only is it an essential piece of equipment to use on the river, apart from a kayak, it is the next most expensive piece of kayaking apparel you will purchase!

So here are a few top tips to prolonging the life of a white water drysuit.

Gearing up for the Austrian Spring Whitewater Kayaking Season

As we approach the beginning of March, the days begin to get lighter and the sun is now hitting our base. Though there is still snow outside Base Arlberg and we are hoping for more to fall in the next month, we are planning and getting ready for the upcoming Spring kayaking season here in Austria.

Firstly, bookings are looking good and we have already a few weeks booked out, so if you are looking at coming to kayak with us here in this beautiful part of Austria then it would be wise to get in touch early to avoid any disappointment, especially in July and August where we had to tell a record amount of people that we were fully booked!

Our equipment at the Kayak School Arlberg

Our equipment in the Kayak School is made by whitewater kayakers for whitewater kayakers!

We pride ourselves in our equipment and as we teach a modern, dynamic style of kayaking we require our equipment to fulfil this objective! The days of skidding out of an eddy using a paddle brace are luckily long gone. Being more proactive and gaining momentum means that with the use of an edge we can now carve and the feeling you get from this is amazing.
