Very few companies can boast that one or both of the owners are on every
offering that's listed. We like to say that we are small on size and
huge on experience. We are actively involved in the teaching and guiding
disciplines of our sport, contributing to the most current information
in the field. We write articles and books, have co-written and are featured
in many instructional DVDs, and every year we present various topics
on the technical and mental side of our sport at the Whitewater
Symposium.
We are the leaders in the field. Come paddle with us!
Incredible people on incredible rivers!
My adventures with Phil and Mary,
whether in Ecuador or the States, have always pushed my paddling
to
new levels of skill, enjoyment and confidence. Being on the river with
them
always goes far beyond mere paddling though, as it blends the best of personal
human relationships with individual self-challenge under a backdrop of
awe inspiring wilderness.
