"I have already participated in several packraft courses at Packrafteurope and was surprised about the intensity of the training every time. Whether it was a 2 day, 3 day rescue course or the six day packraft guide training, afterwards my knowledge, practical skills and also my confidence in white water was extremely increased. Seon is one of the best guides when it comes to packrafting and he always manages to get you out of your comfort zone and beyond your limits without you losing your fun. Maximum safety in all areas is Seon's top priority at all times. The rental equipment is of the highest quality and is from the renowned manufacturers such as Alpackaraft, Astral, NRS and TNP. So if you want to have an extremely steep learning curve, you should take a course with Seon from Packrafteurope"

"A really important course for every packrafter. It sharpens your senses for possible things happening and trains you with the tools to react to it. Instructed by Seon with a lot of commitment. This won't be our last rescue course!"

"Earlier this month had a fabulous 4 days with Packraft Europe in Gosau, Austria. 2 day packrafting clinic with Mark Oates, Jen and Seon, focusing on paddle strokes, choice of line and positioning within the paddling group. Massively impressed by the knowledgeable and detailed coaching, analysis of particular paddle strokes and theory of line choice. Fabulous two days paddling. Very impressed by all the time taken, after first long day of paddling, of watching back tape of us all paddling, analysis of technique and where and how to improve.
Then did the 2 day Rescue 3 WRT-Rec course with Seon. Learnt a heap on hydrology, river features and characteristics, knots, rescue techniques and considerations, and then drilled them thoroughly on the river.
All this in the stunning surroundings of the scenery around Gosau, where there is a crazy wealth and range of water, from lakes to Grade 5. Fabulous instruction. Can’t recommend enough."

"I am happy that I made the rescue course. 
The execution of the course was great. 
We got all the time feedback when something was well done or could be improved. 
All topics were shown before for better understanding. 
And - important - we were challenged afterwards to apply the learned in scenarios. 
Great experience!"

"With BOLD Leadership Expeditions, we offer leadership courses in outdoor setting (expeditions, short retreats, 1 day programs, teambuilding, ...).  We were already looking for quite a long time for a partnership that could serve multiple goals: we needed a great packraft guide to add to our staff for certain projects we run on the water, we also need advice on gear/projects & we're always looking for companies that can provide us training, workshops and certifications.

The first contact with 'Packraft Europe' was an eye opener for us. We knew from the start that this was going to be something absolutely valuable for BOLD Leadership Expeditions. With Seon & Michaela, we managed to achieve our goals from above. Some of our staff joined Whitewater Rescue Courses and we also started to let Seon join some of our projects for coördination of the packrafting part.

And as an extra bonus, they sell gear to us which is selected with the best care and advice there is. In the end, we value Seon & Michaela most of all for their professional attitude and clear communication line. Everything is always being done correct.  They really do great work!! My advice...contact them!"

"This course was more than we asked for- in many ways.Our instructor (Seon) was most qualified and managed to establish a great (small) group experience and bonding from scratch.He was highly skilled in assessing risk factors, i.e. predictng flash floods and other critical conditions on the water.But what made this course and instructor really outstanding, were his social skills. He showed us how to run whitewater – with or without a packraft - even if some of us were afraid to swim in a lake. Finally, he will never let you down -even if that means to push you over your limits (or what you perceive as your limits)-In conclusion, if you like a challenge, this is the guy to trust. He goes above and beyond to make you improve. High recommendation! And the Packrafts they sell are really high-quality".

"Attending this course (WRT-PRO) was a great and important decision. Seons instructions were clear and the combination of theoretical and practical sessions made it possible to see how to use the new skills. I look at rivers in a different way now and definitely doing the course next year again!"
