Personalized Kayak Instruction

LEARN KAYAK SKILLS TO EXPLORE MORE PLACES AND HAVE MORE FUN.

Work with Liquid Fusion Kayaking’s expert kayak instructors to make your paddling more efficient, skillful, safer, and fun.  Whether you are a first time kayaker or a seasoned paddler, LFK’s kayak lessons will boost your paddling performance and enjoyment.

Accelerate your learning and fun!

You won’t get a one sized fits all instruction from us, instead you will be engaged in customized instruction that is specific to your skills, interests, and paddling goals.  LFK instructor’s Jeff Laxier and Cate Hawthorne are well known for their teaching and coaching expertise as well as their paddling skills.  They are both certified instructors through the American Canoe Association.  In addition, Jeff is a British Canoeing Sea Kayak Coach, and Cate is a K-12 teacher.  Jeff and Cate’s teaching style is a highly effective blend of direct instruction, guided practice, and FUN!
