What to expect
You'll begin on dry land with instruction on hydrospeed technique and a thorough safety talk covering what to do in the water. Once geared up with your board and fins, you'll enter the Sesia's classic section—a proven stretch with manageable but genuine rapids. The guide leads you downriver, pointing out features and timing your entry through the waves. You're in constant contact with moving water, reading it as you go, using your fins for steering and rhythm. It's physical but not brutal; the four hours breaks into natural sections with recovery pools between the harder pushes.
