Shaun Rodgers

Shaun loves guiding and experiential coaching. He has kayaked extensively around the world both personally and professionally.

His sea kayaking journey has given him the opportunity to obtain knowledge and a varied coaching and guiding  style, obtained from a life lived in different parts of the world.

He has guided expeditions, coached sea kayakers and been invited to symposiums and events around the world including UK, Ireland, Greece, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Israel, Iceland , South Africa, Zambia, ,Zimbabwe, Mozambique and believes the journey has only just begun as every location offers new experiences, new people, new cultures and most of all something new to learn………

He is now living in Cornwall and keeps a view that he is still “advancing his paddling” continually moving forward to offer high-quality, safe training and expeditions.


Shaun is a British Canoeing Leader and an Advanced guide. He has mentored and trained coastal and advanced guides from around the world, completed Arctic survival training and REC level 5 first aid training.

Shaun was approached to train the team in early 2022 and the rest is history, Shaun has joined the team as safety officer and looks forward to the most amazing sea kayaking experience of his life paddling the inside passage with a team he has built a strong bond with over the year.
