Anyone can have fun floating around in a kayak or canoe, moving generally towards a destination. Sometimes, it can feel like a lot of work, and is often risky! The news this year is full of reports of paddlers who have overestimated their abilities and gotten into trouble.

Your course will depend on experience you may already have, and on your specific needs and goals. With quality*, personalized instruction, I emphasize fun and safety, with a purposeful progression to build your skills.
