(Level 1) Introduction to Kayaking - Whitewater & Recreational
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.
Kelly is very articulate with great attention to detail. He comes highly recommended by those who have attended his courses.
(Level 1) Introduction to Kayaking - Touring, Sea Kayaking & Recreational (FULL)
I chose NMKI because of Kelly's professionalism and strong attention to detail. I find this very important as it relates to safety. I would never trust anyone other than Kelly to provide instruction to myself or for my 12 year old son, Navada. We felt very safe and well guided under the direction of Kelly. I would tell others if they ever hesitated to try kayaking, River Boarding or any kind of paddling to first take a course with Kelly and rest assured they will be in good hands.
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!

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.
Even though I only took the Intro to Kayak class at the pool prior to the Coastal Kayaking on Inlandwaters 'Kayak Touring'
course, I was confident in performing the wet exit in open waters…the
rescue exercises were by far the biggest asset of the class.

Kelly is a great instructor. If you live in the Albuquerque area and want to learn kayaking, attend one of Kelly's classes.
Very informative class. Just the ticket to lay the foundation for starting out in kayaking.

It is amazing to do something so challenging. I feel like I have accomplished something that I never thought possible.

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
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

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!

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.

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 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!

This was my second time in this class in a months' time. Although I
enjoyed the first class, I felt like all the pieces began to fall in to
place the second time around. I felt my skills improved exponentially.
The instructors were very skilled and helpful in zeroing in on specific
needs of those in the class, and were there to roll you (back up) when
necessary. Loved it.
Just wanted to thank you for an awesome class last night. I like your approach to teaching. People are drawn to that.
