(Level 3) Whitewater Kayaking Made Easy
The combination of classroom, followed by river work was perfect. The
schedule was flexible to deal with the reality of conducting a class
outdoors. The whole experience has been informative and has helped improve my paddleing significantly.
I am more likely to continue to boat on a regular basis as a result of
my experience in NMKI courses.
This was a fantastic weekend! We learned so much so quickly but at the
same time could take it at our own individual pace. When I got into the
kayak on the first morning I was still a little uncertain about trying
out whitewater but by the end of the weekend I felt very comfortable. I
was definitely glad I went. Thank you Kelly and Dave!

Great course, tons of information, practice. Marcel and Kelly are the
perfect teaching duo, the Oliver and Stan of coastal waters techniques.
Enjoyed sharing the experience with everyone who attended.
Kelly is fun and enthousiastic about kayaking. If you're interested in learning to kayak, this is the place to be!
Intro to Whitewater, Weekend Adventure
I have taken the Intro, Roll, and the Whitewater Weekend courses. They've all been informative, supportive, and fun. It has been a progressive
learning process and I do like your emphaisis on offensive paddling
rather than defensive paddling. The Intro to Kayak (Level 1) class is a perfect foundation. I am probably going
to retake the Intro class because there was a lot in there that I just could
not absorb at one time; WAY beyond an 'intro' class!
I am impressed with organization and professionalism of Kelly's operation. The teaching methods are good and are reassuring to the extent they convey that the ability to kayak is within the reach for just about anybody (including not-so-young people like me!)
Intro to Whitewater, 2-day weekend clinic
Fantastic! The instruction was top notch. The instructors' attention
to detail and focus on safety were superb. The classroom environment
was interesting, the class time on the water was a blast, and the
attendees had a great time together during and after class around the
camp fire. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in
kayaking in New Mexico.
Thanks for the info and the good class. Even though I've owned recreational kayaks for many years, I learned far more than I ever knew before.
