As a British Canoeing qualified coach, I believe in patient, progressive instruction that builds confidence alongside skills. Every paddler learns differently, and I adapt my teaching style to help you achieve your goals safely and enjoyably.
Safety is always the top priority. We'll work within your comfort zone while gradually expanding it, ensuring you develop good habits and decision-making skills that will serve you well on any river.
From precision technical clinics to full river descents. Design your own progression.
The fastest way to progress. 100% focus on your goals.
Share the stoke with a partner. Perfect for consistent paddling buddies.
3 to 6 paddlers. Learn together, laugh together, get better together.
We coach on the finest whitewater in the Alps. From the Salza to the big-volume Inn.


I am a British Canoeing certified Advanced Whitewater Coach & Leader with over 20 years on the river and 4 years of professional coaching.
Most coaching focuses on the paddle. I focus on the person holding it. I combine technical instruction with flow state psychology so your head keeps up with your skills.
Advanced British Canoeing standards to refine your boof, edging, and line choice.
Psychological tools that help you work with fear instead of against it.
