Packraft course with Honza Žďánský

We prepared this weekend course for packrafters with Honza Žďánský. Honza is a traveler and expedition packrafter, who definitely has a lot to say about packrafting on white water, as well as equipment and safety when moving with a packraft on the water.  He is an ambassador for several well-known and lesser-known manufacturers of branded equipment.

In order for you to enjoy this course as much as possible, we have limited the number of participants to 4 packcrafters. Honzo's specialty isbikepackrafting. How to combine a bike and a packraft is a topic that he will definitely be happy to tell you about.
