My name is Ryan Eckhoff and I am from Breckinridge co. I have been kayaking ever since I was 10 years old so about 7 season. Living in Breckinridge gives me 3-4 months out of the year to kayak depending on the snow melt. This is my second year being a keener. I love being a keener because it teaches you just about everything you will need to know to be a good and safe kayaker, for example big water beat down Thursdays teaches you how to get out of really sticky holes and how to be calmer when getting worked, There are many sticky and fun holes on the Ottawa at lower levels named satlers, Phil's hole right side and left side and blacks. Some other awesome paddling skills that we do is race day Wednesday and freestyle Friday. I especially love freestyle Friday because you get the chance to compete on world class waves with world class coaches. All of this and more makes it fun and safe to learn and do. so if you want to become a really good kayaker and advance quickly you should definitely come to Keeners. it's a program that is 3-4 weeks long and you get to kayak with some of the best kayakers in the world like, Dan Jackson, nick troutman, Stephen write, clay write, mathu domula and kaleb grady. These coaches will teach you everything you need to know to be a good and safe kayaker. Another thing I love about keeners is you get to meet and paddle with a lot of cool kids all around the world.
