Guest Testimonials

The private lesson I had with Andy yesterday was superb. It was great to get on a river again after so many years. Andy made the experience that much better with his skilled, patient and kind instruction. My friend Greg who participated in yesterday's lesson echoed the same sentiment. I will tell anyone I know that Wet Planet is a great outfit for Kayak instruction!

Whether you are a beginning kayaker interested in improving your roll, or an advanced kayaker looking to master the latest freestyle move, private instruction is the best way for our talented instructors to help you achieve your goals.

What happens on a day of Private Instruction?

All of our private instruction begins at our riverside headquarters. Here, our instructors take time to help students determine a set of goals for the day's instruction. From there, you will take it to the water.  Our instructors will chose the most appropriate stretches of river for your day, sometimes splitting morning and afternoon sessions between different locations depending on the student's needs.  Once on the river, the itinerary of skills and strokes is entirely up to the student and instructor.

Quality Instructors

Our instructors have the experience to cover it all, from explaining the theory behind the most basic strokes, to breaking down the movements behind the latest play moves. They think, breathe and talk about kayaking methods and technique. We hire instructors that can pinpoint problems, as well as implement solutions in a variety of ways. If you are haveing trouble, we can help.

The individual attention available in our private instruction is the perfect way to improve your technique or master new moves.

Best of all, the day is all about your progression and development as a whitewater kayaker.

Call us to discuss your needs and we will find an instructor perfect for you, or request your favorite instructor (check out our Instruction Staff bios) to continue helping you build solid skills. We are passionate about instruction and want you to get the most out of your private whitewater kayaking clinic.
