Paul and Lee Abraszewski writes in about their paddling session with Jesse Coombs

July 14, 2006

Dear Eric,

We recently had the pleasure of kayaking with a member of your team Jesse Coombs on the Murtaugh section of the Snake River. It was great to watch his relaxed, fluid style and exceptionally precise technique. Jesse is a true ambassador of paddling. He elevates both the mood and the skills of those around him. Being with him his fun as well as instructional; yet he is humble and very friendly. We met at the Put-in, where he not only offered help with shuttle, but invited us to join his group.

We also purchased the movie, "Hotel Charlie" and found it excellent and awe inspiring. On another note, we would like to thank you and compliment you on the very helpful educational books – Whitewater Paddling, and Playboating – and video – Advanced River Running you have produced.
