I took multiple classes with Robert a few years back . If you are going to be on the water I highly recommend working with Robert. I had basic skills when I started with him but he quickly upped my game. I was involved in doing multi day open water trips with several other people throughout the Delmarva region and can honestly say without his teachings we couldn’t have pulled off some of the trips. He has a way of teaching that just works. I started off having him teach me how to roll and self rescue techniques and then as a team we worked with him on group issues. We learned how to work together safely as a group and proper procedures for group rescue and many other safety issues. While thankfully we never had any very big issues we did have some smaller ones and it seemed second nature on how to handle them after Roberts instruction. If your new to the sport or just looking to advance your skills I highly recommend Adventure Crafters for all needs. Thank you Robert for all you’ve done over the years.

He absolutely loves what he does, and it's reflected in how he trains his students. Robert is a treasure of knowledge, patient and adapts to the student based on their learning style. I learned so much and look forward to taking more lessons with him. If you want to learn how to be an excellent paddler, Adventure Crafters is the place to go.
