Hello Everyone!


My name is Kenny Sturgeon, I am an outfitter in Sebring, Florida. I am an


ACA Intro to Kayaking instructor. Anyway, my question is: I have gotten a


couple of calls from paraplegics who would like to paddle with us. I would


really like to accomodate them,so if anyone has advice or knows of an expert


who could help me manage the learning curve it would be a great thing!








Since you're already ACA certified, you can get a disabled paddler's
endorsement to it...  ACA has had such a program for year;  check out their
website.  There is also a book by Laurie Gullion available through them on the
subject.  Lots of good ideas.
