Private Lessons
Tailored paddle instruction adapted to your goals and skill level. The fastest path to mastery.
Why choose private lessons?
Private lessons give you the instructor's full attention and a program that is 100% tailored to you.
Faster progression
All attention is on you. You get immediate feedback and adjustments along the way. Many find they learn more in two private hours than a full day in a group.
Specific techniques
Is there one particular thing you want to work on? Maybe the roll that's almost there, or the brace that keeps failing? Private lessons let you focus on exactly what you need.
Flexible schedule
I adapt the time, location and duration to your preferences. Morning sessions, evening sessions, weekdays — I'll find a solution that works.
Safe environment
Some prefer to learn without a group around them. Private lessons provide a safe and relaxed environment where you can practice at your own pace without feeling pressure.
What can you work on?
The content is adapted to what you want to learn. Here are some of the most common topics.
Paddle technique
Effective paddle strokes, rotation, edging, sweep strokes, draw strokes and braces. I work on your technique from the ground up.
Rolling
Systematic development of the Eskimo roll. I break down the movement and build it up step by step. Perfect for those who want to master this essential technique.
Navigation
Compass, charts, tidal calculations and GPS. Learn to plan and execute trips with safe navigation — even in poor visibility.
Safety and rescue
Assisted rescue, self-rescue, towing and handling unexpected situations. Practice scenarios you might not have time for in regular courses.
Have something else you want to work on? Just let me know — I adapt to your needs.
