Take a head-long dive into over 90 minutes of inspiring, edge-of-your seat sea kayaking action from renowned filmmaker Justine Curgenven & Cackle TV. 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.

I like the emphasis on kayaking as a positive experience. After taking the classes, you realize that you can have a very fun time, even before mastering the roll. Other classes I've taken make the roll seem like a necessity, and learning to roll (or not), becomes the focus, which eclipses the fun of kayaking.
Before i took Kelly's class, I was convinced that a sit-inside kayak was a FLOATING COFFIN (don't mean to be so morbid). But now with what I learned in the Intro to Kayak class I feel CONFIDENT in a sit-inside kayak and my opinion has DRAMATICALY CHANGED. Looking forward to more days on the water. Thanks Kelly.
April Meeting - Overview of the Bosque Education Guide
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.
