Through the Scottish Canoeing Association (SCA), I am a British Canoeing (BC) UKCC Level 2 Paddlesports Coach and 4 Star Sea Kayak Leader.
Following many years of wavesailing on the Altantic swells hitting the beaches of Cornwall, I attended Falmouth Marine College to turn my hobby into a career, completing a National Certificate in Outdoor Pursuits, gaining a number of National Governing Body instructor awards through the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and British Canoeing (BC).
It was at college that I found the enjoyment of sea kayaking in the challenging waters of the Cornish coast. I believe it was the feeling of winning against the elements, using preparation, along with the new skills I was acquiring, under the guidance of the instrutors, that attracted me to the sport and made me wish to become a guide to introduce others to this amazing pastime.
