Bellyak

The Bellyak is a brand new riversport activity, coming directly from the USA, suitable for everyone, especially for those in love with the liquid element: this hull halfway between a kayak and a surfboard can be used either lying down, on the knees or sitting whilst to help the steered we use special webbed gloves.

To become a good whitewater kayak paddler, can be a challenging experience. But with the Bellyak, you can immediately experience the thrill of a fantastic river descent as it’s very easy to learn to use.

Have more fun! This is our goal!

This is a modern river kayak hull, suitable for any type of descent, easy, safe and fun, created to connect the person to the water without all the difficulties related to closed hulls found in kayaks. Bellyaks are very accessible to beginners as there are no spraydeckers, or straps and a new challenge for the experts.

With our floating Bellyak which protects our face, chest and legs, plus our webbed gloves, we are ready to face all the most beautiful sections of the Soča , the best way to totally be immersed and feel the river.

Compared to a kayak, it’s easier and more immediate and does not require any particularly sophisticated technique; knowing how to handle water is sufficient to maneuver it.

Our head office is located in Trnovo ob Soči, a small village surrounded by nature where peace still reigns, halfway between Kobarid and Bovec, in the middle of all the most beautiful itineraries. This means more time for bellyak and less time spent in transfers, considering that once the descent is over, in a few minutes you can get back to your car.

A cafe with services, minimarket and free private parking for our guests complete the offer.

Alpin Action is one of the best establish companies in the valley with a long tradition of excellence in service and professionalism. And whilst we offer all riversport activities to a very high standard, we are also well known for introducing new and exciting ways to enjoy the Soča Valley.
