Feedback…

“Just to say I very much enjoyed my week with Gordon, and I did get a lot out of it and I think my skills are improving as a result. Lots to think about and so many positive things to reflect on (The Kylerhea Narrows, and the trip to Soay were pretty special!).

I did manage to eskimo roll in the pool after watching the videos and Janice doing a great job of coaching.! and as John said- It’s practice A’m needin tae keep bidin afloat.”

My skills are improving

“Much appreciation for Mick’s tuition over the two days – patient, evidence-based advice (like my paddles being upside-down), endorsing abilities and gently pointing out incompetence that would have led to unsought-after submarine skills.”

Patient advice…

“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking us out kayaking on our amazing honeymoon! We had such a good day and it is something we’ll never forget. Watching those seals follow us was incredible!”

“Missing Scotland already!! Thank you for looking after me so well during my travels – it played a big role in my holiday being a success. I had a really lovely time with you all. Skyak is a very special business and impacts on so many people in the most positive way and I feel very lucky to have been able to benefit from kayaking with you and am looking forward to many more trips!”

A great trip

“Thanks for a great course over the weekend. Just the outcome I was looking for, learning a lot about myself and my own learning style as well as those of others. And lots of little gems that I’ll use with our team and with clients coming through.”

Lots of little gems

“…a brief note to thank you for how well you take care of people when we’re there – gear to borrow, the kettle always on, resources to use, so much work put into helping us feel less nervous (even if some of us appear impervious to it, it is MUCH appreciated!), and so much obvious care, work and time put into running a quality training and quality assessment that is tailored to the individual students in the class. I know how much work that takes – so I wanted to say thank you.”

Quality training and quality assessment

“…we have the confidence now, under good forecasts to really get out there on our own and have some fun and feel we have really developed skills. This is due in part to the confidence Gordon gave us and so again how much we appreciated the course and what we learnt (skills and tidal / trip etc. planning). So thanks so much for helping us to do such things. We look forward to St Kilda…!!”
