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!
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.

Kelly is a great tactician with a keen ability to break the rivers'
energy into a series of teaching moments that were both appropriate for
our varying skill levels and allowed each of us to build confidence at every stage throughout the weekend. My goal is to be able to manipulate the river, and all of its energy, with the grace and finesse that Kelly has!
My learning curve has been exponential. I never imagined I would learn this much, so fast!
Swiftwater Rescue (Level 4): Are you an avid rafter or kayaker, who's learned the basics of river running, and wanting to become more of an asset to those you paddle with? Have you ever wondered what your role would be if you came upon the scene of a pinned raft, stranded paddler or someone who's life may be threatened? Do you rely on the experrience of others to decide what to do in an emergency? You need not be an experienced paddler to help in the event of an emergency, but you should know the roles that need to be filled and have a basic understanding of how to lend a hand without becoming another vicitm. |
