Intro to Kayaking Class
A four-day course for those who want to jump into whitewater kayaking with two feet. No experience needed, but by the end you’ll have the confidence to join a crew and start paddling on rivers all over Colorado.
Kayaking Sampler Class
Have you ever wanted to hop in a whitewater kayak and play around? Join me at a pool for two hours to learn about the equipment, kayak safety, and basic paddle strokes. No experience required and all equipment is provided.
Pool Classes
Learning how to roll a kayak is a technical skill, not a strength move. I teach more people to roll every year than any other instructor in Colorado. Get your first roll, perfect your form, or practice an offside, back deck, or hand roll. We can use video analysis to help you identify areas to work on and help you learn faster than you thought possible.
Private Lesson on River
Don’t see a class that meets your needs? Join me for a private half-day lesson to work towards your exact goals, anything from a form check-in to advanced skills like creeking or playboating.
Getting into whitewater kayaking can be difficult…
