Packrafting: Dita (and Canoes Plus) is my whitewater kayaking/packrafting guru. All the courses I’ve attended on packrafting (Mitchell River) and safety (Goulburn and Big River) along with the river trips have been brilliant. I really appreciate how Dita pinpoints key issues and explains in a way that is easy to understand and that makes a difference. I’ve felt safe and gained skills and confidence to paddle effectively, safely and when required been able to assist others.

Jumu Packraft Review: What a great packraft is Jumu. From the moment I first got in and set up I felt comfortable and secure. The knee braces adjusted and fitted perfectly, the internal boat length was accommodating, The seat and inflatable floor insert provided me an upright posture. My first outing was on the Mitta below the dam (one play wave and one 200m class 3) and Snowy creek (punchy class 2). On flat water the Jumu easily tracks straight and I am able to maintain a reasonable high angle stroke using my standard white water paddle. On the white water the Jumu comes alive. It glides over and through waves, holes and eddy lines. It surfs well. It’s playful and engaging and stable. It feels tailor made. I feel confident to take it on bigger water and look to using it on overnight downriver journeys. It’s brilliant.
