The origin of Rock, Paddle, Surf Kayak Coaching stemmed from our desire to share our knowledge and passion for the sport of sea kayaking.  We have been fortunate enough to learn from some of the best coaches around, and we want to pass on what we have learned.  We emphasize the complete kayaking experience in our coaching, from the intellectual to the physical; we encourage you to seek balance in your kayaking.   Paddling takes on different forms for different people. Whether you enjoy the thrill of playing in rock gardens, the adrenalin of surf, or a quiet moon-lit paddle,  there is something for everyone.  Come and learn with us.  We will encourage you to play, laugh, and push your boundaries in a fun, supportive environment.
