Be a part of the evolution of our sports teaching and learning evolution!
Mar 18 09 - With a growing number of certifications and educational programs out there, one thing remains constant. The inability for the kayak instructor and/or learner to be involved in the next generation of kayak teaching and learning development. Every year new teaching techniques are discovered, new learning methods are being recognized and new gear allows us to simplify things. Yet none of these new elements are making their way to modern curriculums. World Kayak changes this by inviting WK member instructors and schools to participate via a social media powered eLearning portal.

    Getting to know Trevor Clark

    Jun 12 09 - Over the course of my life as a kayaker there have been a few notable photographers that have provided the imagery for our sport. Jock Bradley and Paul Villecourt are the two that stand out in my mind. Last year at the Reno River Festival I was introduced to Trevor Clark. He was kind enough to shoot one of our World Kayak hometown throwdowns. Needles to say I was impressed with the images he captured. Over the course of last season the quality of the images that Trevor continued to generate did not disappoint. Not only is Trevor an extremely accomplished photographer but he is an extremely good boater as well.
