I had an amazing first experience whitewater kayaking with Nick Fletcher. Nick is a fantastic teacher and demonstrator. I found that nick spent the time and effort to teach at a pace that was appropriate but also challenging. Nick implements many teach strategies on and off the water. For me personally Nick realised very quickly that I am predominantly a visual learner and was happy to continuously demonstrate the skills for me. His knowledge and experience on the water is very evident and makes for a really safe environment to learn anything from the fundamentals to more advanced techniques. I couldn't recommend Nick more. I had an absolute blast on the water with him and can't wait to go out again.

I spent 2 days with Nic having some private coaching on kayaking skills. It was incredibly beneficial for the development and consolidation of my basic skills, but also in improving my confidence to attempt more difficult challenges, be it a micro-eddy, a surf wave or a different line in a rapid. I found Nic's use of the BBB-TASTE model particularly useful to enhance my understanding of the importance of correct sequencing and implementing skills correctly. Nic's depth of knowledge on learning and coaching allows his teaching approach to be highly adaptable to meet his students where they are at and guide them to achieve their individual goals. He provides really useful feedback while maintaining your trust and confidence. I highly recommend Nic as a coach, instructor and assessor, and look forward to spending more time developing my skills under his guidance. Cheers Nic.

Through carefully selected coaching and mentoring techniques, Nick has progressed my skill and confidence in white water scenarios. I found the course to be highly engaging and found great value in the methodology and feedback provided. I will be returning for my next qualification as soon as possible! Thanks so much, Nick!
