Educational - Took the beginner class with Gina. At first I was a bit apprehensive. Gina quickly put all my fears to rest. She was very professional and answered all as my questions without hesitation. I learned so much that day and became so comfortable on the water, I couldn’t wait to go and purchase my first kayak. Now I look forward to taking a few tour’s. And the recovery class with Gina. Gina made my first experience in a kayak a pleasure. Thanks Gina !

I would strongly encourage anyone who is considering kayaking to take this class. I feel much more comfortable after doing so.

Kayak Fundamentals - Had a great time learning how to kayak on the econ river with Astrid. She was very knowledgeable and patient with teaching a couple of seniors! I highly recommend this place if you are wanting to learn how to kayak. The lake was calm and beautiful! We had fun and most of all did not tip over or get wet!!

A great class for everyone. - Excellent instruction in the art of paddling. Now I have more effective strokes and maneuvering. Now I just need to practice so I can stay out longer and go farther without fatigue or injury...... Thank you Astrid!..... P.S. I am looking forward to wet exit class this summer.

Kayaking lesson - Astrid was an excellent instructor. She provided detailed information about launching your kayak; the best way to get in and out of your kayak and even personally demonstrated how to rescue yourself if your kayak flips over. She was thorough, patient and fun. Not only did we learn the basic maneuvers; she also advised us how to navigate a dangerous wave and what to look for when purchasing a kayak/paddles and necessary gear. I learned much more than I expected and feel confident that I can now kayak safely. I certainly got my money’s worth out of the class.and I highly recommend it for adults and kids.

Good information and knowing skills - This was actually the wet exit class about getting back into your kayak after tipping over and helping someone else if they tipped over. This was a good class and I learned a lot of skills in the event I have to use this which I hope I don't but I will be more prepared. Our instructor was Astrid along with Gregg as her assistance.
