(Level 1) Introduction to Kayaking - Whitewater & Recreational
It is amazing to do something so challenging. I feel like I have accomplished something that I never thought possible.
I learned everything that i was hoping to learn, as a result my feeling confident and safe on the water has increased tremendously!
(Level 1) Introduction to Kayaking - Touring, Sea Kayaking & Recreational (FULL)
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.

Wow, Kelly sure can cram a lot of information into two hours. He answered every question I had and more. Thanks for a very informative two hours!
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 a great instructor. If you live in the Albuquerque area and want to learn kayaking, attend one of Kelly's classes.

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 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!

This clinic introduced me to the essential strokes, and the situations in which to apply them, including understanding which stroke would be efficient for the objective. I learned so many things that I never knew about Kayaking. I also enjoyed the introduction to assisted rescue. Kelly, the instructor, gave some excellent tips on how to tkae what we learned, into a pool session or other practice, and challenge yourself with each basic skill.

The class that I attended was small but the level of experience was quite varied. Kelly has a great sense where the students skills were at during the weekend. Kelly had a sense when a student needed to re-group after a bit of trouble and when he could push them with new skills to build their confidence. Overall the group proceeded very smoothly through the weekend course without interuption.
Thank
you! The girls had an absolute wonderful time at the Paddle Safety class. You
represented your sport well with the girls and it shows through their
enthusiasm. Good Job!

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!)
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!
