★★★★★Jay TownsendMy kids and I had a fantastic trip down the Chattahoochee and would recommend the creek and Paddle Pals to anyone interested. Great outfit!
★★★★★Samuel Phillips100% Recomend! I have worked with Stephen on multiple occasions. He has always been really accommodating with working on what I feel I want to improve on. He also notices other things I need to focus on as well, and gives me suggestions. My paddling "levels up" after each session and gives my things to focus on to continue improving. I am a better paddler because of our work together! Our work on forward strokes was 100% responsible for me coming in 4th place overall in the short boat category in the Nantahala race last year, and I am 40! And as a bonus, he and Chadley both are great guys! Looking forward to my next session!
★★★★★J RodriguezI had a truly remarkable experience with Paddle Pals Outdoor Adventures' reserved a 4 hours private whitewater training, led by Chadley McCutcheon. His exceptional instructional skills, patience, and ability to adapt the learning process to my individual needs and abilities enabled me to perform sweep-rolls by myself in just two hours after meeting him at WildWood Outfitters. Chadley also helped me with padding strokes and in detail answered the many overwhelming questions I had 😃 I’m booking 4 more hours instruction in a couple of weeks …. Thank you!
★★★★★Samantha CodyI booked a lesson as a gift for a friend beginning their whitewater journey. We had an amazing day on the water with Stephen breaking down the fundamentals. We left the lesson with a great start to making her a more confident paddler and a way for me to better mentor her. Definitely recommend booking these lessons to give you a step up in building good whitewater habits early on.
★★★★★Brandi SI thoroughly enjoyed my kayaking lesson with Stephen. He was informative, knowledgeable, and patient. I appreciate that he gave me the choice of taking the "easy or fun route". (take the fun one!)
