“Curtis England instilled confidence in me, a whitewater beginner. He was present when needed; but did not behave over protectively.”

“Anne Sontheimer was a fantastic instructor. She was kind, thoughtful and really communicated her ideas and suggestions effectively. Jae Jackson is personable and very easy to work with. She is a joy.”

“I’ve paddled with NOC for a couple of years, and I have yet to have a less than stellar experience. I’ve had a different guide each time I’ve taken a whitewater kayaking course, but each has been a solid instructor, and I’ve had valuable takeaways from each. This last time, Curtis was able to take an intro course intended for my partner who had never paddled whitewater before — I intended to be along for the ride — and tailor it so that we both got what we needed. Curtis is an excellent coach.”
