Hello world “Kayakers Go Coastal” is here!
The Crew
Yes the crew and I finally made it. We are here and ready to teach, repair and motivate you for kayaking and the joys that surround this wonderful sport.
We live in a great place for the sport of kayaking which I love. The outdoors and kayaking is my joy and pleasure. You will find me working in my shop repairing boats or out on the water teaching and playing. My Crew and I work together and when you get me you get the full crew.
So how did this happen? It all started when I moved to North West in 1995, took my first class in kayaking in 96. From that moment on I was hooked on this sport and the people I met along the way.
Joined the Mountaineers and Washington Kayak Club, took sea kayaking classes and more. Volunteered my time in the sea kayaking basic classes and then moved to chair for the Tacoma Mountaineers Sea Kayaking classes. Past President for the Washington Kayak Club 2006 to 2007, and now Clinic & Training Chair for WKC from 2007 to present
Certified BCU (British Canoe Union) 4 Star Sea, 2 star Open Canoe and Coach 2. ACA (American Canoe Association) Instructor for open water and surf
Ok so where do the repairs come in…………….from taking a simple class on fiberglass repairs to having a shop full of boats to repair. Since 2001, repairing kayaks and have an enthusiastic passion for the art of repairing and working on kayaks and alike.
