Paul Binns, Purchase of LENDAL paddle (January 2010)
"Hi Kurt. Just wanted to thank you for an excellent Saturday and Sunday. Exhausted yesterday from our long weekend in Dorset and now getting back to normal again. Some of the laughs will be remembered for ever. Hopefully we will be able to return your hospitality with a wakeboard ride and BBQ at some point."
’Little’ John Mills, , Dorset Jurassic Coast 3 Day Wild Camp Trip (September 2009)
"Good fishing, boat a bit small though, nowhere to put all the fish I caught! Good time had even with some wind and the campfire company was excellent, thanks for a great time. See you in August 2007 for the next trip. "
Cliff Van Zyl, Dorset 3 Day Wild Camp (September 2006)
"Due to bad weather conditions at sea (10.11.07) Our beginners course was moved to Alton Water. However Debbie and I had a Fantastic time and learnt so much. Kurt was friendly, charming, very knowledgeable and very easy to talk too. We are both looking forward to actually getting to paddle on the sea and hopefully get out to see the seals at Hamford Water. THANK YOU KURT see you soon. "
Carol Langridge, Introduction to Sea Kayaking (November 2007)
"A little intimidating at first because the weather wasn’t too great on the day but the kayaks we used were very stable & gave me a lot of confidence. The dunking was a bit of a shock but crucial to building self confidence and knowing that you can self rescue when its needed. The trip certainly does what it says on the tin. "
Ian Woodrow, Introduction to Sea Kayaking (June 2007)
"I didn’t expect to get so close to the seals and it was a great experience, something I will always remember. A great trip and good value for money, highly reccomend for those who like the outdoors. "
Tim & Anna Walters, Hamford Water Seal Visit (July 2006)
"From the initial safety briefing through to the end of each trip, there was never any doubt of the professionalism and enthusiasm shown by Kurt. The kayaks proved to be stable and responsive in both calm and not-so-calm conditions, quickly establishing confidence on the water. There was tremendous benefit in approaching wildlife from the water with a minimal amount of noise and disturbance, resulting in good views of the local seal colony and abundant birdlife inhabiting the area. I have no hesitation in confidently recommending this trip. "
Richard Lewellyn, Hamford Water Seal Colony Visit (September 2007)
"Thanks for a great afternoon out on the water. I have already recommended Nomad to friends so lets hope they give you some business. Its great to have such a fantastic outfit near to home!"
Carl Friar, Family Kayak Trip (May 2009)
"I thought the trip was great - and I really thought that the staff had made every effort to tailor the trip to our needs. Myself and my friend are both good paddlers and they let us get on with our own thing whilst giving us great tips on where to look and go. My father who was less experienced always had someone with him so he didnt feel left behind. Anyone who is interested in wildlife and wants a bit of fresh air and exercise will absolutley love this - I am definately going to do it again. "
Dan Jones, Hamford Water Seal Colony Visit (July 2007)
"I initially contacted a few places where I could try kayaking but they didn’t sound like the type of thing I was interested in. However, the ’Introduction to Sea Kayaking’ with NOMAD seemed to be exactly what I wanted. I thought the amount of time spent were very helpful in giving a good look at the sport overall and whats involved before getting on the water and trying it. I do feel I got a lot out of the day and it has definately made me want to continue. "
Mark Hawksbee, Introduction to Sea Kayaking (October 2008)
"I would highly recommend NOMAD to anyone who is interested in Sea Kayaking. Kurt is an excellent instructor, his attitude is thoroughly professional. Courses are run with safety as a priority but the main emphasis is on fun and enjoyment. Shortly after my Introduction to Kayaking Course I decided to buy a kayak. NOMAD supplied everything and Kurt went out of his way to arrange delivery so I could get on the water asap. Kurt’s customer care and after sales service is excellent and I would have no hesitation recommending all Nomad’s services to friends and colleagues. I intend to do a lot of paddling with NOMAD this coming year and I hope to go on the Jurassic Coast trip. "
Reggie Lloyd, Introduction to Sea Kayaking (March 2008)
"Thank you Kurt for a truly memorable trip, we’ll be out with you again soon. Also, thanks to the rest of your team. All in all, a great bank holiday weekend, representing great value for money. "
Tim Lodge, Dorset Jurassic Coast 3 Day Wild Camp Trip (August 2008)
"Hi Kurt - just wanted to say thank you for such a great day on Alton Water last Saturday, both Ade and myself had a fantastic time and thought the course was relaxed and informative. Although it was the first time paddling for the both of us we came away confident that we could get out on the water safely. "
Richard Robbshaw, Introduction to Sea Kayaking (July 2010)
"I would just like to say a massive thank you for a brilliant day yesterday. I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed it, the seals and company were great. I will be looking to do the ’Introduction to Sea Kayaking’ in the near future (as soon as I have a child free weekend!) Thanks again, hope to see you soon."
Nicki Edwards, Hamford Water Seal Colony Visit (August 2009)
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support, understanding, patience and brilliant coaching through my fear of capsizing (not to mention freezing your butt off!). I woke up this morning and felt like a new girl! I’m hoping that means I have smashed that mental barrier into Timbuktu and can carry on enjoying this terrific sport. I would also like to say that if it wasn’t for your one day trips- seal watching at Walton on the Naze, I never would have thought to try such a great sport and had the opportunity to meet some good people!"
Clare Hately, Clacton-on-Sea (April 2009)
"I took the Sea Kayaking for Beginners course recently. Had a great day, learnt a lot and really got a lot out of the day. Its easy to be tought by someone when you can tell they have a real passion for what they do. I had such a good time I tried to book up the next lesson before I had got back to the car! "
Chris Cowel, Introduction to Sea Kayaking (January 2008)
"A short note of thanks to Kurt & his two very professional Guides for a great weekend. The company was great, safety on the water was comprehensive and a good campsite for the night. Kurt & his team were very professional throughout all aspects of the experience from initial enquiry to launching & landing at the end of the trip. We had a great time, thank you so much - see you soon."
John & Judy Miller-Smith, St. Osyth Camping Trip (June 2010)
"Just a big thank you for a fantastic day out. The great knowledge and guidance & safety with a friendly touch was really great. I will definitely consider future kayaking trips with your company. "
Paulette Charlery, Seal Trip (April 2010)
"The trip was booked for me by my son Alex for father’s day, best father’s day gift I’ve ever had- Thank you for a lovely afternoon."
Mr. Anthony Neal, Osea to Maldon Kayak Trip (July 2010)
"Thanks for a great session I really enjoyed it. I was very nervous before the session and you really helped me to relax. I was really pleased with my roll and I put that down to your great coaching. "
Victoria Bloom, Learning to Eskimo Roll (April 2009)
"We would both like to say we really did enjoy our time out paddling on Saturday. Kurt, was really informative and considerate throughout, both Trudie and I felt safe in his leadership, and we really appreciated the extra effort that was put in to accommodate our requirements.
A great choice of craft and fantastic location …it leaves us with only one quandry …wondering when to make our next booking for."
