The Silent Glide Canoe and Kayak Shop has been in business since 1997. This year, 2006, is a time of expansion and growth. As I move from a full time University of Wisconsin Extension Agent toward a full time paddle shop business owner, many new services will become available.
I have been paddling since I was in Boy Scouts and have strong qualifications and experience in leadership and team development for youth and adult groups. I am a certified Wilderness First Responder, ACA Kayak Instructor and Aires and Associates Leadership Development Program Instructor.
Over the past 13 years I have led youth groups to places like the BWCA, Lake Nipigon, and the full length of the Wisconsin River and organized multi-day camps for groups of youth from 80 to 120 participants. All involved training teams of adults and youth to share leadership and responsibility.
Look for or ask about:
I will be adding Product lines like NRS and Hobie in the near future and establishing a new retail center on the beautiful Black River Mill Pond in Medford, Wisconsin.
If you long for the feel of water gliding silently under your canoe or kayak, love the challenge of a good workout on gorgeous lakes and rivers, or just want the solitude of our natural resources to melt the tension away, the Silent Glide Canoe and Kayak Shop will help get you out there doing what you love, the way you want to.
