Here’s a sample of the feedback I’ve received from just some of the people that have gone through my training courses and instruction…
I did the basic skills course with Steve and learnt a lot both from a theoretical and practical point of view. The knowledge was digestable and followed by clear instructions when doing the exercises. I thought we used the time well and really enjoyed the rescue practical session. I would recommend the course to those wanting to get into kayaking and gets some good insights before making the purchasing decision. There are so many different types of craft so doing this course was valuable to me in working out what kind of kayaking I want to start doing and in turn what kind of kayak I should consider purchasing. Thanks Steve for your patience and knowledge in answering my questions and look forward to perhaps seeing you out there one day.

Thanks Steve, it was a fantastic morning learning our skills to make each and every paddle stroke more efficient, reliable and enjoyable. You have given us the confidence to practice our self rescues if not as graceful as others. You embraced our ability on the day and we can only improve from here on in. A big thumbs up from us. Thankyou

Thanks again for running the course – much appreciated. It’s a ‘proper course’ with lots of content – and does require the participants to put in some effort and thinking (not just a box tick thing like many educational things today). I’m getting into the study and practice asap – so look forward to the assessment.

Thanks for the great course! I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the training (although I admit being a little squeamish about swimming with the jelly fish!) Looking forward to getting out there and putting it all into practice
