by teamjk | Oct 20, 2017 | Antix, Creeking, Instructional, Playboating, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

A freewheele is one of my personal favorite parts about whitewater kayaking. It can be done regular or switch but regular is easier. A freewheele is when you come off a waterfall and as you come off you plant a stroke that turns you so you land backwards. I am going...
