Amy McCullam

“I have only been paddling for about a year but the majority of what I have learned in that short amount of time has been from Anthony. He explains kayaking strokes thoroughly and ensures you understand why they are used and how they are applied on both flat and white water.

His river leadership skills also make him an ideal person to follow down a river. Paddling with Anthony gives me confidence because he is encouraging and wants me to try everything. Anthony is also astute enough to realise where my boundaries are and where my paddling and confidence limits are.” - Amy McCullam, Leicester

Lewis Osborne

I've been out with Anthony a number of times on both rivers and surf. I couldn't do a thing at first but Anthony patiently guided me on and soon i mastered several different rolls and many other invaluable techniques (as i discovered them to be on a later white river trip Anthony took me on!!)

Anthony is an extremely competent coach who focuses as much on safety as he does on confidence building - he will coax and encourage you, but i was comfortable in the fact that i knew he would never let me do anything that he didn't think i was capable of.

During our sessions i messed up a couple of times and found myself in a few tricky situation, but each time - out of nowhere there Anthony was, and i was back the right way up, ready do rumble again!

if you want to learn to kayak, Anthony is definitely your man! -- Lewis Osborne, Cardiff

Katie Moore

Being a complete novice, I was naturally quite apprehensive before having a lesson with Anthony. Although it was a brief session he thoroughly talked me through the basics and showed me the vital techniques I would need to go out into the water…

He was encouraging and explained things in a simple yet informative way. I am defiantly eager to have more lessons from Anthony and he has made me want to take up kayaking properly! –Katie Moore, Bournemouth

Alex Jarvis

I have never been kayaking before. I was nervous at first but it soon turned into excitement.

Anthony looked after me. He was alway next to me, so if anything went wrong he was there to save the day!

I cant tell you enough how much I enjoyed my first kayaking lesson. Cant wait to go again!

Anthony is someone that you can trust and he is so patient. You'll have fun...give it ago! I nearly didn't, and I would have miss out loads! - Alex Javis, Aberystwyth
