John is the lead guide and instructor for Central Coast Kayaks in Shell Beach, California. With over 25 years of paddling under his belt, John is as comfortable in big waves as he is in calm water. His experiences range from kayak surfing big California swell, 21 day kayak trips through the Grand Canyon to sea kayaking 90 miles of the Big Sur Coastline. Currently paddling the Karma RG, one kayak that can do it all.
John says he "loves taking complete novices into the Dinosaur Caves that adorn the popular Shell Beach region."
