i am an experienced advanced sea kayak leader and level 3 moderate sea kayak coach. Being out on the water makes me very happy, and i enjoy creating a fun atmosphere for learning in. while I prioritise safety, laughter tends to dispel any fear. Witnessing the joy on people's faces when they spot a dolphin or a seal cub swimming alongside their kayak is something that never gets old for me. as a coach, I find it incredibly rewarding to see individuals grow and achieve things that they never thought possible—those "lightbulb moments." Overall, being out on the water truly feels magical to me.
