The gathering

Learn the movement.
Own the moment.

Kayak Rolling & Rocking 24H brings paddlers together for coached practice, friendly skill challenges and shared time at TMT Basecamp.

Open to beginner, intermediate and advanced paddlers, the gathering focuses on kayak rolling, balance, edging, bracing and boat control. It is not an endurance race or 24 hours of continuous paddling. It is a structured learning experience built around progression, personal choice and community.

The challenge programme

Two tracks.
Twenty ways to progress.

Each challenge is assessed on a 10-point scale. Technique, control, consistency and safe execution matter more than speed. Advanced skills are optional and subject to instructor approval.
