Bill Gwynn Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 My dad has a friend that is paraplegic, and is wondering about kayaking. I seem to recall a thread somewhere on this subject, but can't seem to find it. Can someone point me in the right direction. The fellow in question lives in southern NH.

bethany Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 The club has assisted with Outdoor Explorations (http://www.outdoorexplorations.org/) in the past. I think Buddy and Dottie were the liaisons.--b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Rice Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 The ACA offers an adaptive paddling endorsement to teach coaches how to adapt kayaking classes to a variety of physical challenges. The one person I know personally who has this endorsement is Becky Molina in Florida. You can contact her at: Phone: (772) 595-9793; or (888) canoe 90 (888-226-6390) Or e-mail at BeckMark@aol.com.

alex_L Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hi Bill- I also have the Adapative Paddling endorsement, and I just finished teaching the paddling skills portion of the Adaptive Paddling workshop for instructors through Northeast Passage at UNH in Durham. They have several paddling programs and other adaptive sports programs, and are great folks to work with. If you would like other info, drop me a line or call.Thanks- Alex L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
