Had a super day of Intro Tidal Paddling instruction with Alice and Phillip a couple of weeks ago. Alice explained the fundamentals perfectly, drawing on parallels in the non paddling world that made a lot of sense to me as well as the rest of the group. Progression was timely through out the day. With an excellent paddler:coach ratio, I really felt that the coaches were able to observe each of us, answer individual questions and offer directed feedback. I came away from the day energised and understanding a lot more than when I arrived. I am definitely keen to pursue this and other courses with Alice. I can definitely recommend her coaching, friendly and professional manner.
Because of Alice's coaching I even felt confident tackling an eddy (and succeeding as intended!) the following day when river-sea paddlers cautioned against. Told I had the best approach ;)
Thank you Alice and Phil!
