ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTORS
Amanda Anstrom, Angie Morrison, and Amber Schroeter, better known as "Triple A Paddlers" have been instructing paddling for the past 5 years. Their kayak experience started as kids and has expanded into a passion they love to share with others. Instructing kayak classes for WOW (Wild Outdoor Women)at Lake Metigoshe and taking groups down the Missouri River every summer, kayaking is a sport they just love to teach and enjoy with others! Their instruction style is fun and hands on. They like to skip the lecture and only teach what you need to know to be safe and efficient on the water.
