Joe Harbour
Kayak Coach
Having started paddling in his early teens, there hasn’t been much that has kept Joe away from the water. Whether he's white water kayaking, raft guiding or freestyle paddling, you will usually find him down by the river somewhere. Joe can be found delivering a wide range of our skills courses and workshops.

Matt's infectious joy for hanging out with people on the water make him a firm favourite among course regulars. He is an accomplished kayaker and boasts a real understanding for the river environment and proactive techniques for smooth travel through it. Matt is a school teacher when not working on white water, so you will often find him delivering our weekend and holiday courses.
Nic Pearce
Kayak Coach
Having discovered kayaking over 30 years ago as a young child, it quickly became completely integral to my life and the source of friendships, career aspirations and worldwide exploration.
Paddling to me, first and foremost, means 'community' and I feel incredibly privileged to be able to share this, and the wonderful places you can only see by kayak with others.
