About-
Adventure sports have been Eric Montgomery's passion since childhood. Growing up in an off-road motorcycling family, he learned to ride at the ripe age of 4. The family would spend numerous weekends in the Southern California desert either competing in events, or recreational riding. As he developed as a rider, Eric found the most fun in the challenging long distance rides. The best rides were the ones that began with charting the ride on a map and might include two or three mountain ranges to travel. The rockier and more difficult the terrain, the better. In college years, mountain biking and distance road riding got his attention. Again, the best rides were the adventurous long distance cross country treks.
After taking a sea kayaking class in the mid-eighties, Eric found a new passion. Unlike the land, the ocean never stops. No stopping to take a break on a hilltop in the ocean! The technical aspect of trip planning, coupled with the physical skills necessary to paddle the sea, is Eric's favorite element.
Over years of paddling mostly solo, Eric eventually decided to get formal training to be able to offer paddling experiences to others. Eric is a certified sea leader and instructor with credentials through the world recognized British Canoeing, and UKCC. He is continuing his education in coaching and leadership. Eric has been fortunate to paddle regularly and learn with some of the best paddlers and coaches in the world.
Let Eric introduce you to the world of sea kayaking!
