What our clients say...
"Absolutely fantastic weekend! In fact ace service from point of enquiry email to close of course. everything very personalised to the goals we want to achieve. Pre-course information was excellent, really detailed itinerary so we knew exactly what to expect and was delivered in advance so we had a chance to adjust if we wanted to. Great standard of kayak, drysuit, paddles, tech equipment for being at sea. We both took big steps forward in our techniques. We now feel so much more confident about our trip to Menorca. Level was perfect. - lots of info but didn't feel overloaded or baffled at all." "Fantastic course, really enjoyed it!! Plenty of information sent through before the course. Excellent equipment. Got more than I was expecting, learnt loads." "The course completely met my expectations, and then some! I came to fix my paddles strokes – learned how to do exactly that! Helped me decide which paddles are actually right for me! Had all the info I need in advance; plan was formulated for the actual conditions in a timely fashion. Felt very comfortable expressing my needs and aspirations both before the day itself and throughout the day. Sean is super knowledgeable." "Got the push I needed. Also most coaches paint out paddling faults, Sean actually acknowledged what was going well. Chose Wild River because they were able to offer a bespoke course."
