O události
We have prepared this weekend workshop for packrafters with special guest Honza Žďánský. Honza is a traveler and expedition packrafter, who definitely has a lot to say about packraft riding, 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 workshop to the maximum, we have limited the number of participants to 6. Honzo's specialty isbikepackrafting. How to combine a bicycle and a packraft is a topic that you will definitely hear about from Honza on the course.
