Classes
The Pacific Northwest has some of the best paddling in the world with endless waterways, majestic mountain views and rich sea life.
We love paddling in the beautiful San Juan Islands, kayak or sup surfing the Washington coast, running the rapids of Deception Pass and exploring the hidden back waters of the South Puget Sound.
My book “Paddling the Salish Sea, 80 Trips” has allowed me and my readers to find hidden escapes close to home as well as travel along the 75 campsite Cascadia Marine Trail which extends from Olympia to the Canadian border.
If you are looking to learn to kayak, paddle board or surf ski, we work with people of all levels introducing them to paddling and helping them achieve their goals.
With patient ACA and PSUPA certified coaches we are known for sharing our passion of paddling with students!
How We Work:
We offer personalized private 1-1 and 2 person coaching in Seattle and beyond. Rentals included at no cost.
Contact me to develop a lesson or personal training plan tailored to your goals. I also offer Personal Weekly and Monthly Training.
We are a mobile business with no shop and meet you at the beach.
I provide follow up after each session to make sure you’re on the right direction going forward.
Stand Up Paddle Board Lessons
All Levels
Personalized 1-1 and 2 person lessons. Beginning thru advanced paddle board classes for all types of people. From flat water to surf, we can get you there.
Great experience! I was a little hesitant to do one on one coaching with Rob due to the cost difference in the group sessions but there really is no substitute for the amount of attention & coaching you get in a one on one class. I did a downwind and just kind of “all around” SUP class with Rob in the Puget Sound and I had so much fun. I learned a bunch of new techniques and he improved on what I thought I already knew. He has an alumni FB group for his students and said I can hit him at any time for more advice. Great value for money, I would do that class again in a heartbeat. Thanks Rob!
Kayaking Lessons
All Levels
Personalized and private 1-1 and 2 person beginning through advanced kayaking classes from my patient ACA certified coach. Lessons can be customized to your goals.
I have had the great pleasure of having classes with Robert on back to back weekends. He is professional, friendly, and very skilled at this instruction. I’ll be back for classes over and over again.
Surf Ski Lessons
All Levels
Personalized and private 1-1 and 2 person lessons. Beginning thru advanced lessons in Seattle with Rob Casey and Van Douglas in Hood River.
Booked a day surf ski lesson with Salmon Bay Paddle. I had a fantastic time with Rob He provided detailed background on surf ski’s, helped me understand the options and considerations for buying and the differences between models, instructions and consistent coaching. If you’re new to paddling or paddling in the PNW, I would highly recommend taking a lesson and or doing a guided expedition with Salmon Bay Paddle. Top notch. I’ll be coming back.
