Just a brief note to thank all at h2ocoaching for the excellent tour of Scottish rivers.

It was apparent that considerable thought and preparation had gone into the planning of our itinerary to move through a range of rivers / grades increasing with our ability and confidence during the course of the week. This could not have been done without a considerable level of local knowledge and also understanding of our skills.

I appreciated the support and instruction during the week and felt that my paddling competence and confidence on grade 2/3 water has improved significantly as a result of the week.

It was also great fun to run the raft trip with you.

Once again many thanks for a great week and I look forward do doing it again soon

Yours sincerely

Paul Maton





Chris has helped me develop my kayaking skills in many different ways. He coached me through my 3 Star and has given me valuable help all the way through to me now being a level 2 coach trainee. Also he has taken me on to a couple of weirs to introduce me to white water and can I say what a great time I had and how much my roll improved!!

He is a great coach, patient, understanding, good eye for detail allowing him to improve your strokes and best of all Chris makes it FUN!!!

I would recommend Chris anytime! He is one of only a few people I trust with my life!

Thanks Chris!

Looks like all got home safe and sound.

I thoroughly enjoyed the three days we had on the water. Your trip leading ability and enthusiasm for us to get as much out of the trip as possible were excellent - same goes for Sian and Jim. I always had the confidence to throw myself into the big stuff as I knew that there would be some one there to pull me out if it all went belly up (as it did more than once!) I was also able to work on key skills, especially on the Tamar and Tavvy Rivers.

Please pass on my thanks and best wishes to Sian and Jim and many thanks to you for such a great trip!

Cheers All,

Dave





Hey Chris, Here a two photos that seem reasonable and sum up our expertise! We had SO much fun, didn't stop talking about it all night.

Thank you so much! SO excited about Morrocco, not only will I be on a WARM river in a kayak but most importantly I WONT be at work - it's win win!! :)

Anyways, take care and I'm sure we'll see you again sometime (poor you!)

I went paddling with h2ocoaching in Scotland last year to try and step up my grade on moving water having not paddled on moving water much before.

h2ocoaching helped me build my confidence on moving water and guided me to 4 star standered.

I would recommend h2ocoaching to any one.

Dear Chris,

Thanks for the CST a few weeks ago and had a genuinely good time getting wet and cold.

In late November, that is no small feat and your teaching was informal, enjoyable and informative.

You took the time to read your pupils and offered constructive comment. A good time was had I learnt a lot.

I hope to have more courses with you in future.

Many Thanks

Anthony Hodson






The 4 Star training and assessment was most enjoyable course I have been on to date.

Chris has an excellent coaching style, combining clear explanations and demonstrations along with great exercises that turn basic ability into proficient skill.

His enthusiasm is contagious, and joining him on the water is always a pleasure…

Regards

Thank you to Chris and h2ocoaching for giving my daughter an unforgettable party.

Not only did the children enjoy it (judging by the noise in the car on the way back), their parents wanted to thank us for giving them such an unusual and fun experience.

Chris did an excellent job: The safety briefing was very cleverly delivered and made the kids understand how to have fun and be safe. It was great to see that even the more nervous children had their confidence built up to what was a very wet finale!

Thanks again
