Raff Taff - ACA Pro School

RAFFTAFF, located in the south-west corner of Germany, provides open canoe, sea kayak, swiftwater rescue and SUP skills courses and assessments. ACA Instructor Trainer Raphael Kuner offers instructor certifications as well as trip leading assessments. They are one of the rare places in Europe to get ACA SUP instruction; and due to the fact that Raphael is the one and only ACA swiftwater-rescue instructor in Europe, the only school to get ACA rescue instruction. Besides this, their canoe camp is right in the middle of the Black Forest and their home base is located at the river Rhine. These are perfect places for canoeing, SUPing and kayaking.
