Feedback…

“I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for an amazing week on the water. I couldn’t believe my luck when I won the raffle prize and I have been ridiculously excited about the course for months (ask my family!). Your coaching was spot on for me, Gordon, and I tried hard to take on board everything you said. I have plans for my three part homework, and hopefully Kate will see an improvement in 3 months time…”

Coaching was spot on for me

“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!”

Skyak is a very special business

“I met so many lovely people whilst on the course and a special thank you to both Mick for his patience and persistence, and you Gordon for affording me the 1-2-1 time when we visited the “Coral Island” in Loch Eishort. It was truly inspirational and my abiding memory of that day which will always make me smile was the line “ … the more time I’ve spent being an outdoor education instructor, the more I realise I’m really a therapist!” Well the treatment you delivered on what was a pretty dreich day was spot on: you got someone with zero self-confidence there and back in one piece for which I’ll always be grateful.”

Truly inspirational

“…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…!!”

We have the confidence now

“First of all I want to thank you for what probably has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in a really long time. To be honest I’ve become hooked on the sport and taken the decision to start obtaining star awards.”

Expert instruction…

“You know you have had good coaching when you notice the difference in your paddling. You know you have had great coaching when others notice too. And I had great coaching with Skyak Adventures.”

Great coaching

“Thank you for another great week at Skyak. It is great to get stuck in for several days. I like a bit of progression, and I remember more each time! It is a shame to have to go home…”

Another great week at Skyak

“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

“…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.”
