Excellent Coach

Joe was my coach for a long time, whilst I was a client of Paddle365. Joe took me from essentially being unable to paddle in a straight line on flatwater to being able to successfully complete Serpents Tail, which is a grade 2/3 rapid on the River Dee in North Wales.

Joe's strengths, and why I would choose Joe as a coach are that Joe has the ability to meet clients at their level, listen to their goals and work out a plan which encourages growth not only in kayaking ability but in confidence in their own ability.

Joe encourages understanding of the whys of kayaking and with myself applied techniques learnt in one part of the river to different parts which enabled both my kayaking skills to develop and my confidence when I realised I really could do it.

I would definitely recommend Joe as a coach

I’ve been on four multi day paddling…

I’ve been on four multi day paddling courses with Joe in North Wales, without doubt the best instruction I have received, he has really helped me with my white water confidence and improving my skills.
Very knowledgeable in every way I cannot recommend him enough.
