As a late starter in paddling it is thanks to inspirational coaches such as Mark that I have gained the skills and confidence to develop and become a kayak coach. Mark creates a very rewarding learning environment for his students and mock students alike. I found his approach to be supportive and encouraging during the day and appreciated his discreet appraisal and positive involvement during the session. I look forward to further courses in the future....thankyou! Jojo

Cheers Mark for conviencing me that to give sea kayaking a go
All these years I've fancied myself as a bit of a whizz at paddling rivers in kayaks and open boats but never really thought of what experiences sea kayaking could open up for me
Well, I just thought I'd post these pictures and say thanks for opening my eyes to the potential
Perhaps we should get that Scottish paddling course off the ground :0)

After completing my L3 Coach (Sea) assessment with Mark Tozer (& Pete Jones) naturally I was extremely happy at having passed it but even happier about how much I had also learnt through the process.
Everything about Mark's courses and assessments are geared towards learning even though at the time, it was occuring at a subconscious level. At a first glance the paperwork surrounding the delivery of Mark’s session may seam excessive, but in the grand scheme of things its still a very small percentage!
At the end of the day, the written word allows us to organize our thoughts and understand complex processes that cannot be described practically. Mark does this very well and dispels the myth that paper work has no place in the outdoor world! And from my experience is one of the few coaches in North Wales that successfully bridges the gap between sound theory and good practice.
Doing a great job as RCO and North Wales is much better of because of it!
