Ace Kayaking School

Jeff West started ACE Kayaking in 1997 as a way to share his love of the Ocoee River in East Tennessee. What began with leading inflatable kayaking trips has since grown to include beginner and advanced whitewater kayaking instruction. They teach small, personalized classes and schedule them at whatever time is most convenient for you. Whether you’re just looking for a good time on the water, developing advanced techniques and river reading skills, tuning up rolls or learning about expedition kayaking, ACE Kayaking is the place to do it. From working on your summer play game to developing your winter creeking skills, reach out anytime. They are open year round, but their coaches may be on expeditions in the winter, and their summers get packed. They suggest scheduling further in advance to better your chance of getting the days you want. Call or email them, and they’ll work it out. You can always reschedule with due notice. Their coaching is designed for you to reach your maximum potential. They teach and live for the love of it, wanting others to see that truth during their time on the river and let it grow and flow into the rest of their lives.
