John started
kayaking with Adventurous Experiences shortly after buying his own
kayak but quickly realising that he needed to learn how to use it!
John booked on a kayak pool course and after attending Adventure
Week he found that the sport was for him. Since then John dedicated
most weekends to establishing a solid platform of core skills. As
a founder member of the Adventure Club, John progressed and consolidated
his skills before moving on to join the coaching team. He is now
working his way towards coaching and other outdoors qualifications.
John's full time job is in financial services. He is also a member of Port Erin Coastguard Rescue team. He was born and grew up on the Isle of Man, and has built up a good local knowledge of the island and its coastline both through his paddling experience and his work as a Coastguard. Sea kayaking remains as his main interest with his other hobbies primarily being outdoor based and include hill walking, navigation, climbing and mountain biking.
His personal ambitions include kayaking from the Isle of Man to the UK, and to paddle in different locations around the world. He plans, along with fellow staff member Sam Murphy, to attempt to set the record for paddling around the island in a double sea kayak. Adventurous Experiences coaches are highly trained, motivated and qualified to run the activities we offer. All staff hold national governing body coaching awards, have certified First Aid training, complete continuous staff development and personal skills including the VHF radio course with Coastguard personnel, have the full support of Adventurous Experiences and have the customer as their primary focus.
