  1. An Eskimo roll in grade 3 white water – unless in a guided workshop.

General Rules

  • You must follow all rules relating to the use of white water contained within this document and on display around the course.

  • All equipment you use on the White Water Course must be of White Water specification and be fit for purpose.
