So awesome! Everyone supported each other. Trey supported and ensured we met our goals for the trip. He spent a great deal of time with everyone to assist with our goals and learning experience. All of the coaches were stellar.
Although I made incremental improvements to strengthen my abilities and mindset as a paddler, doing it in a welcoming, supportive, growing, and connected community makes the entire experience so powerful, meaningful, and memorable.
I find all the TPOW trips amazing. I appreciate all the individual coaches & their abilities to teach & share. The organization of each day matches my needs and allows for different challenges. TPOW is a community I enjoy being part of. Which allows me to build my skills & confidence. You all are so much appreciated.
