About Lee Riggs:
For 35 years Lee has been putting himself into the wild as often as possible. In 1982 he moved to Alaska and shortly after began his education in kayaking. Paddling the inside waters of Southeast Alaska allowed Lee to build a foundation of kayaking skills and to fall completely in love with the sport.
After 20 years of kayaking around the Pacific Northwest, Lee chose to make it official and became a certified Kayak Guide. Since then, he and his family of 5 have settled onto a small organic farm near Gibsons, BC on the Sunshine Coast.
Driven by his love of the ocean and the outdoors, Lee has compiled a 5 day personalized coaching course for novice to intermediate paddlers wanting to go camping for a week with their kayak , and to accomplish this with confidence.
