I am an aunt who would like to purchase private kayak lessons for my nephew for Christmas. He lives in Broken Arrow Ok. I thought that someone out there might know of a pool class or someone with pool access who would teach my nephew kayaking. He is 12 and I would like for him to get basic lessons and roll lessons if he gets to that point. My boyfriend is Slim from the MWA and we canoe often and he kayaks. We have taken my nephew a few times in a kayak never with a skirt and he does okay. He will take our spring beginners clinic in MO however we would like to give him a jumpstart. He is very eager. Thanks, my name is Betty Baldridge and my boyfriend is Slim Olson. You can email be directly at bettybaldridge@yahoo.com or my boyfriend at slimbo12@hotmail.com. Thanks againn, Betty
