FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What makes you a special kayak instructor?
A: This I believe is a simple question. Yes I have been taught by some of the best paddlers, instructors and coaches, not just in this country but in the world. Some are listed on my website in the endorsements section. Not listed but could be added is a Hungarian Olympian from the 1950’s and an Olympic Coach from the 1960’s.
Here is why I believe I am a great instructor. I remember being exactly where you are as a beginner or intermediate. I have vowed never to forget being in your position and wondering if I was going to flip over and what to do. I remember paddling into the trees. I remember falling in when learning to scull and that gives me patience to help you learn to love this sport. We will figure out your goals and proceed with caution TOGETHER.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What do you mean goals?
A: Again, this is simple to answer. Do you want to become a great sea kayaker or do you want to learn how to efficiently paddle with less effort and be safe while you are looking at birds or fishing in a recreational setting or anywhere in between?
Here is some free advice, most kayakers over estimate their abilities. The “intermediate “paddler usually isn’t. He or she may have paddled for years and has lots of what I call “seat time”. They have not studied or practiced techniques–just seat time.
