Sir Croes

Thanks for a very good course! Finn was a very good instructor and motivator! He was also very nice and had many nice stories. In the top weather in the Oslo Fjord, this was an experience we will remember! Much also thanks to the arrangement because everything worked well and it was not too many participants, but everyone was well taken care of. Recommended!

Gunhild Dahle

Finn var kunnskapsrik, rolig, morsom og tilstedeværende uten å være påtrengende. Han forklarte og viste grundig, men gav oss rom til å prøve og feile, og feile igjen. Hadde likevel full oversikt og var alltid behjelpelig med tips og instruksjoner. Super helg

Kjempefint kurs. Siri er en morsom kursholder.

Sonja Løssfelt

Imponerende at Bent ikke lot seg stoppe av det ufyselige været og veldig gøy å ha opplevd paddlingen litt utover i kurset. Det frister til mer!

Lise Eglin

Veldig fornøyd med kurs og instruktør. For meg som hadde gruet meg til endel av øvelsene, ble det en god opplevelse. Opplevde sikkerheten og ivaretakelse som meget god. Takk for et supert kurs
