Chris Bensch a premier paddler with many awards, is also renowned as a coach and teacher. Chris has opened a school in the Bellingham Area "Captain Salty's School of Skills and Grit" (links above). We are stoked to have a teacher and a school of such caliber in our Area! Sterling Kayaks, highly recommends Chris as one of the best coaches available. If you want to learn a new skill or tune up an old one-- Ask Chris about taking a class in one of our demos. Give Sterling's models a test paddle and see what they can do to improve your level of skill and enjoyment. (not available for rock gardens, Skook or places that a lot of damage can easily occur)
