Sea Kayak Coaching & Instruction
I offer a wide range of sea kayak programming, from introducing beginner paddlers to the foundations of kayaking to specially designed sessions for experienced paddlers and guides with specific goals. I bring more than 20 years of experience working with paddlers and from kayaking in a wide variety of locations around BC and internationally. I have a deep interest in the learning process and a passion for experiential education, and apply this to all my coaching. I strive to teach for independence and to empower those I work with in the pursuit of their paddling dreams.
I am often asked to run clinics on forward stroke efficiency, weather theory, rolling and advanced rescues, as well as leadership and decision-making, surf launching and landing and expedition kayaking at local symposiums and guide training events.
As a Paddle Canada sea kayak instructor and instructor trainer, I am available to teach Paddle Canada courses and certify sea kayakers through Paddle Canada. I am also available to mentor other Paddle Canada instructors.
Contact me about lessons, workshops, presentations, event coaching and custom guided trips.
