Thanks for a wonderful weekend! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Francis had a great time - he enjoyed the action much more than the smooth water trips we have been on.

I'm only sorry I put you through your 'paces' and tested your rescue skills. You came through with flying colors!!! All your hard work to learn all that really paid off! THANK YOU. And I am fine today, just a little tired, as I imagine you are also. That must have been about a stressful for you as for me. I admire you for staying calm and in control - and keeping me calm. I hope you don't have permanent finger imprints on your shoulders! You done good!

Again, heartfelt thanks, Jean

Thanks for the great weekend in Charleston. That was a beautiful weekend to do the clinic. Thanks for the paddle advice. I am now fully equipped once more.

Had an awesome time on the water this weekend. Turns out moving a kayak through the water is a wee bit more complicated than just getting the paddle wet. Looking forward to doing this again some time.

TESTIMONIAL: Folks, take it from someone who has been there and avail yourselves of the opportunity to take Steve's course. It is excellent!

I (and Karen) just want to say how great this weekend was. It was great meeting everybody and it was loads of fun learning from Steve. Someone, somewhere said that people who are drawn to this kind of sport are the kind of people you want to spend time with. Amen, brother or sister - whoever said it. I can't keep track of everyone who assisted me and Karen getting back in the boats after a swim or two, but thanks.

Steve's first day of instruction in calm water gave everyone the confidence to play in the chop the second day. This class gave me a solid base in safety and skills that I can build on for quite a while. If you've ever given a thought to getting some solid instruction or even brushing up your skills, you can't go wrong with this class

My body is a virtual Joseph's coat of many colors. There are bruises on top of bruises and I won't complain about any of them. I enjoyed the sea kayaking and consider the bruises a part of the learning experience. Thank you for your patient instruction and handling of so many diverse personalities. It was great fun and, I hope, something I will do again.

I had a blast and you are an excellent instructor. I really appreciated your kindness and patience. I know for sure the clinic will alway be an enjoyable milestone on my journey to become a better paddler. I really can't say thank you enough for the time durimg the clinic. I went into the class expecting to become more proficient with my strokes and picking up on some rescue skills. We did cover that and more. I actually became more comfortable in the cockpit and I was able to feel what these boats were designed for.

I had a really great time. Can't wait [for] the ocean part next year. In addition to your great instructions, the dolphins, and all of Haynes' info on the marshes added to my trip. It was a very special time for Christy and I. You and Meg make a great team. Let's do it again.

When the students do well, we always say that it reflects on the excellence of the instruction, when they don't do well, we blame it on early childhood trauma:-). It was a lot of fun and a really great intro to butt boating for me [Can you tell he's a canoeist?]. Thanks again for the weekend.
