"Some of the wet suits did not fit very well." KSW (Moray) March 2009
An order for further wet suits of a variety of sizes was submitted within 5 days of this suggestion. Might not always be able to respond so quickly to suggestions but we will try!!!
"It is great to see you investing so much in quality gear and 5mm wet suits are so much warmer than the old 3 mm suits at other establishments" - KMc (Moray) April 2009
We recognised very early on that even in summer months 3mm wet suits are not always sufficient. We therefore made an early decision to go for 5mm full wet suits (steamers) With the above order we now have over 60, 5mm wet suits of varying sizes from 8 year old to xxlarge.
"Your facilitation skills are some of the best I have seen and I have trained with excellent facilitators."
CD EKC (Edinburgh) April 2009
Its really cool to see how much you enjoy coaching people. RL (West Lothian) May 2009
"It felt that you guys enjoy what you do and make an effort to make people feel good and looked after." RC (Banff) May 2009
AALA Inspectors Report June 2009
"The Inspector was pleased to note an innovative approach to the delivery of paddlesports activities, both in terms of the equipment used and the method of delivery. The participants clearly enjoyed the challenges of moving water, and the real opportunity to experience the true nature of the environment. The session was safely and competently delivered in a well organised manner." (AALA)
"Excellent value and friendly delivery." (RS Germany) August 2009
We were able to provide 2 evening activities at short notice to this couple visiting from Germany.
What was your favourite session?
"The whole time from when we got there until it was time to leave, didn't want to go home, wanted it to last longer!" (Lorimer family birthday activity - ages 8-adult) October 2009
White Water Safety and Rescue Training - 13-14 March 2010
"Thanks for a brilliant weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I know the rest of the group did as well. As I said I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else looking for this course or any other for that matter and you will be our first choice should we be arranging similar courses in the future." (Sandy Johnston, Drumchapel and Clydebank Kayak Club) - 18 March 2010
Close to coast incident management training 17-18 April 2010 - Integrate Sea Kayaking Club -
20 April 2010
"Thanks once again for a truly excellent weekend. I know everyone got a huge amount out of the different scenarios. I hope we can carry the principles we've all learned through to the training we do out on the water this season. Perhaps in slightly calmer water though!" (Gavin Grewer)
"I learnt a huge amount which will be great not just for sea situations but all sorts of other life situations. So thanks a bundle once again for your great teaching" (Alison Hester)
Lochaber College Degree Group
"Thanks very much for all your work recently. Its been a pleasure working alongside you - I have also learned a lot and my paddling has improved just through hearing your very well thought-out understanding of paddle skills. Its all inspirational stuff!"
Matt (course senior lecturer) 26 April 2010
Gorge Walking and team challenges
"We had such a good time. I don't think we have laughed so much in a long time. There was a lot of anxiety arising in the days before our 'adventure' and I wondered if I had done the right thing but Jonathan was a very calm and encouraging support. My older sister has a fear of heights and deep water but with Jonathan's support she jumped (on her own) into the deep pool twice! I couldn't believe it!
Lots of laughter and great memories. A very successful day out.
Many thanks for organising it."
