Here is a post that we don’t get to make every day…

Colin (co-founder and owner of Emerald Outdoors) is normally in charge of our social media… but here is a post that he would never post himself.

We are delighted to announce that Colin recently achieved the milestone of Level 5 instructor with Canoeing Ireland. This is the highest level of kayak instructorship available in Ireland, there are only a handful of people in the country who have been able to achieve this!

Add to that the fact that Colin founded the Irish Whitewater Racing League, completed the first ever traverse of the Arabian gulf by kayak and has numerous first descents to his name (including the first ever source to sea descent of the river Lee).

Colin, we are lucky to have you!!! (From Jamie and all the rest of the team at Emerald Outdoors).

Even though the season is slowing down it doesn’t mean the kayaking stops. This is the best time of year to explore different coast lines around Ireland.

7 years ago this is how Emerald outdoors started. A few boats, a tiny shed and an idea. We feel very lucky to have found such a nice place to kayak and be involved with such a nice community.
