Started paddling late in life to overcome fatigue from major surgery which cost me my balance, hearing (in one ear) and a few other physical problems, and found a sport I had a ability for, it has played a major roll in overcoming the legacy health problems and has pushed back the age related issues of the seniors age group.

I have 20 years’ experience have done basic level coaching qualification for working with children after school activities also attended many personal coaching clinics

It is important as with any sport to learn the correct techniques limitations and attitude in a potential lifelong sport
