&
2025 will see us working with Whitewater Ways to deliver a range of kayak courses and trips aimed at getting you up to speed on moderate white water fast.
About the coaches.
This range of trips and courses will be run by Matt from Aquaforge and Dave from white water ways, For some context Matt & Dave have been paddling together for a few years, ticking off some new rivers together and pushing eachother to be better paddlers.
​
With both of them being based around Nottingham they've had plenty of time comparing notes on coaching, leading and practices helping them work together pretty fluidly on the water.
Dave is head coach and director of Whitewater Ways, bringing together deep experience and a real passion for developing paddlers of all levels.
With paddling experience across the UK and abroad, Dave has a talent for making what seems complicated feel simple allowing you build solid foundations, tackle harder grades of water, or achieve whatever goals you’ve set for yourself.
​
As a Paddle UK provider for leadership, safety, and coaching awards, Dave also mentors aspiring coaches and leaders, supporting the next generation of Paddlesport professionals.
Matt Is co-director at Aquaforge, Paddling since 9 years old, mostly on white water in kayaks, rafts, and slalom canoes.

"I enjoy drawing on the experience I've gained competing, working, and enjoying paddlesports to solve problems, and take full advantage of the water around me. looking for powerful moves to play with and trying to be precise with lines. I want to help other people make the most out of our rivers, finding solutions that work for them encouraging independence in paddling."​​
