TESTIMONIALS
Don't just take our word for it
"I've had a few coaching sessions with Jonny now and every time I've come away with the feeling that I can conquer all the rivers in the world! Jonny is confidence inspiring. He makes you think about your paddling and then makes you test your ideas. Jonny has a fun and positive attitude but is calm when needed. He's a very stylish paddler himself which makes for clear demonstrations and inspires you to paddle with style yourself. Very much recommended!"
Ellen Openshaw
Long Term Paddler Development
"Jonny is a brilliant and inspirational climbing, scrambling and mountaineering instructor…and a good laugh too! Jonny’s been my go-to guy to make big outdoor goals come true for years – Climbing the Three Old Men (Hoy, Stoer, Am Buachaille) in 3 days, my first multi-day AID climb, big mountaineering and scrambling routes across the UK and further afield. He makes every experience stress free, fun and I’ve always learnt loads and come away feeling empowered and inspired to be better than I am – he has a talent for that.

"Jonny came across as very enthusiastic, positive and knowledgeable. He didn’t rush through things, picked up on my weaknesses and corrected them immediately. Jonny is also very friendly and a pleasure to paddle with! Top marks on all by me!"
Gianni Filippi
Intermediate Skills Coaching
"Jonny knew how to get me to focus and when to take a step back and let us play. He would question me loads to make sure I was figuring out the answers myself which has made me a really curious and eager learner."
Jess Leggatt
Advanced Kayak Coaching
"Jonny Hawkins is an amazing instructor! He can provide excellent coaching to all skill levels, and has helped me improve so much as a kayaker. I cannot recommend him enough!"

"Thanks for a fun and very useful weekend. I learned new skills, had new challenges whilst still feeling safe. I liked your delivery style by keeping it relaxed whilst still treating things appropriately & seriously so we could learn without feeling under pressure."
