    Had a two-hour canoe lesson with Holly, time incredibly well spent. She gave thoughtful, precise instruction and helped me correct several bad habits I’ve picked up on the water. As a champion paddler, her expertise really shows. She even paddled alongside us in her solo kayak, teaching efficient techniques like proper stroke mechanics and how to work together to control the boat while moving smoothly and fast. And just to show how next-level she is, I tried her kayak afterward. It’s unbelievably fast and super, super unstable, yet she handles it with total control and ease. Truly impressive. So much more to learn from this expert instructor!

    Paddle With Style’s youth camp is a wonderful camp. They go above and beyond for the kiddos. They learn so much about protecting our river, water safety, and valuable skills. Sign your kid up today.

    We had an AirBnB fall through at the last minute so our plans went crazy and we ended up emailing PWS at 8pm on a Friday to see if we could get 6 kayaks and 1 canoe for the next morning. They worked us into their busy schedule, Katy gave us good tips on tricky points in the river and the whole thing was a big success (especially for my 2 year old nephew on his first river trip!) Thank you so much! We've used you in the past and we'll use you again in the future.

    Holly makes great spray skirts, definitely happy with what she made for our boat. My paddling partner and I just finished a lesson, she helped us out a lot learning how to navigate through some of the more tricky spots on the river without getting hung up in trees or smashed on rocks
