Have you always wanted to kayak or canoe but haven’t known where to start? Are you an experienced sea kayaker wanting to start playing in surf and rocks? Have you always wished you knew how to navigate with a map and compass, or tie specialty knots? If these or any other paddling skills appeal to you I can help you learn and develop them!

I am an ACA certified Level 4 Open Water kayak instructor, a Registered Maine Guide in Sea Kayak and Recreation categories, a state of Maine Educational Trip Leader Instructor, have over a decade of experience leading canoe and kayak trips for both children and adults, race whitewater slalom and downriver kayaks, and have extensive personal paddling experience in whitewater, wilderness travel, surf, and ocean environments. I teach 1 on 1 and small groups from very first time to advanced.
