WHAT TO EXPECT
Due to the historically good river flows and weather conditions we experience in New Mexico during the month of March, this course will prepare you for a summer of instructing future kayakers earlier than most available courses in the Southwest. The course is taught by Tommy Gram of Whitewater Attainment. Tommy has dedicated most of his life to whitewater kayak instruction and certification for more than a decade. Whether you are a beginner kayaker looking to get started, an advanced kayaker looking to progress your skills personally or professionally, or anywhere in between, Tommy loves to help his students reach their goals and share his many years of experiences and adventures.
