(Level 1) Introduction to Kayaking - Whitewater & Recreational
Just wanted to thank you for an awesome class last night. I like your approach to teaching. People are drawn to that.
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.

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.
I had a blast at your intro to kayak class! I've been kayaking for
several years and wished i had taken this class years ago! I learned
many new techniques that i did not even know existed! I have always
been hesitant about white water kayaking but with the tools and
techniques i learned from your class, I have decided to join more classes and brave the white water class in a few weeks.Thanks for your support and I look forward to taking more classes with you!

I love this meetup group. Kelly has done a great job of building a foundation or respect, camaraderie, and skills so that everyone has fun. Thanks Kelly for all you do!
Kelly is very articulate with great attention to detail. He comes highly recommended by those who have attended his courses.

My history with water has been very negative. When I was a kid, I almost drowned. Since then, I've found myself avoiding situations where I felt vulnerable to dangerous waters. Since my courses with Kelly, I have gained both confidence and necessary knowledge that allows me to finally enjoy the water again. Never would I have thought I would be going down class III whitewater rapids on a boogie board. Thank you Kelly. You have peaked my interest in taking more whitewater courses.
(Level 1) Introduction to Kayaking - Whitewater & Recreational
I was a self-taught kayaker who constantly got caught in situations that were either dangerous or beyond my skill. In fact, I almost gave up the sport multiple times before I met Kelly. After taking his courses, I found that I was in much better control on the river and began to enjoy it more. I never realized how much technique went into boat control and reading the river. Kayaking changed for me from a sport that constantly terrified me, to a sport where I felt exhilarated and challenged, but still in control. Kelly’s classes focus on reading the river, developing paddling skills, safety, and responsible fun. The best part of taking his courses is meeting new people to paddle with. I am now surrounded by like-mined paddlers whom I can trust on the river, for I know they received the same training. Kelly’s classes turned me into a life-long kayaker.
This is without a doubt the best outdoor class I have ever taken. Kelly
and his team are totally skilled as teachers. I plan to sign up for every
class I can with this team. My enjoyment and skill level immediately
improved after one day. I didn't realize I was using body memory from
paddling a canoe many years ago that were not good practice with a
kayak. Take these classes! They're a great return on investment and a
whole lot of fun besides!--Kate O'Neill, 54yo teacher

I just took Kelly's Intro to Kayaking class at the Chavez Center in Santa Fe and really enjoyed it. He was able to work with all levels (I'd never been in a kayak with the skirt on before) and even helped me overcome my fears after the initial freakout of being strapped to my boat underwater. Great teacher, I'm looking forward to the roll class!
Excellent, well-organized class and instruction. The individualed attention on the Rio Grande trip really helped me put
newfound skills into practice. I also learned many skills
best taught in open river conditions. It's really a pleasure to experience top-notch teaching. --Kate O'Neill, 54yo teacher

Kelly is fun and enthousiastic about kayaking. If you're interested in learning to kayak, this is the place to be!

My girl approached the class as 'something my dad signed me up for and I don’t want to go', but she had a blast and wants to do it again.
Kayaking is a really great experience. It not only introduces the girls to a new skill but shows them they
can accomplish something they probably thought they would never be
capable of.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this course. I would also recommend they have several adults in the water, and several "shore-side" as there seemed to be more things to do that I would have expected. Not only for the girls' confidence, but helping turn around the kayaks, getting the girls in and out, etc.
Really fantastic lesson. Thank you so much for the incredible
instruction. Ellen and Bart were wonderful instructors! I'm so excited to get out
on the water with my own kayak and put my new skills to the test. Even,
*gasp* rolling over! Best, Wren

I would wholeheartedly recommend this course. My girls had a blast and I thought the price was a bargain. My girls are young enough, so almost any activity is still "fresh" for them…they are up for about anything. The girls had a blast - they really enjoyed this.
