Mick Hultz, founder of Asobi Master® in Hokkaido, is an ACA kayak instructor trainer, adventure travel specialist, and outdoor educator with over three decades of paddling experience across Japan and North America in canoe, SUP, and kayak.
Anthony co-owns Kayak ANT with his wife, Renée, in Tarpon Springs, Florida. After growing up in Maine and serving as a U.S. Marine for over 20 years, he was looking for a way to combine his love for the outdoors with his background in teacher education and leadership. He found his calling in outdoor experiential education.
Patrick's goal to complete all the Great Walk in New Zealand had him face the reality and risk of outdoors sports. When on a solo multi-day trip through Whanganui Journey turned into close call on day 2.
Greg Weiss has been sea kayaking since 1990 and a guide since 1994, running trips throughout all of the USA and Baja Mexico. He fell in love with 'skin on frame' kayaking living on the west coast while apprenticing at a kayak building school. In fact, after building his first kayak he sold his trusty Valley boat. "It felt more alive."
Jake is an adventure sports coach, outdoor educator, and all-round outdoor enthusiast. He is a multi-disciplinary paddlesport instructor along with climbing, sailing, wilderness medicine, LNT, and expeditioning.
Robert is a Coastal sea kayak and Greenland paddling instructor based in Seattle, WA. His core focus falls into two areas - working with paddlers at all levels to help them grow their skills, confidence, and personal passion for the sport and his passion for teaching Greenland paddling skills.
I have been kayaking for over 30 years, and an ACA Level 4 sea kayak instructor for the past 16 years, with a traditional/Greenland endorsement. I share my passion of kayaking by teaching others at numerous kayaking symposiums, both modern and traditional, in the Midwest. Another way of sharing the kayak experience has been guiding trips on Lake Superior in the Apostles Islands. Getting kayaks to fit the paddler or vice versa has also become a point of focus to realize the full potential from your skills and kayak.
