Immerse yourself in stunning photography from Japan, Tasmania, Newfoundland, The Great Lakes, Skooks tidal rapid, Norway & Wales. Featuring some of the world’s best paddlers. You will be inspired.

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.

Kelly is very articulate with great attention to detail.  He comes highly recommended by those who have attended his courses.

Have you ever wondered what the Middle Rio Grande valley was like 500 years ago?  How has it changed in the last 50 or 100 years?  Can you identify the birds and wildlife as you paddle down the river?  Who owns the water, where did it come from and where exactly does it go when it leaves Albuquerque? 

Tish Morris, co-editor of the 699pg Bosque Education Guide will provide a brief glimpse into the vast history and ecosystems that make up the Middle Rio Grande.  Topics include, the geology of the valley, surface and groundwater, the demands on the river's water budget, natural history information and human influence, to name a few.

Just wanted to thank you for an awesome class last night.  I like your approach to teaching.  People are drawn to that.

It's not about kayaking...it's about overcoming fears, building courage and self confidence!
