I am looking for some kayak courses, and some ideas on how to find the best paddling in Korea. I would love to sharpen up my mediocre skills, and my boyfriend is very enthusiastic about paddling, and I would love to show him some whitewater adventure when he comes to visit.
I live in Sokcho, and I hear there are places that are close by, but I'm havign issues finding english sites, lol.
Let me know.

I just met a guy in Sokcho who has a small factory building New Zealand-style ocean kayaks, and has a small kayak club. Not exactly what you're looking for, I guess.
There are whitewater kayak clubs in Inje, though.

inje, definitely. i almost drowned in the river there when i went! so, i assume that would give you as much 'whitewater adventure' as you might need.

... And if none of that excites you, try a bit of this for a change:
