After
19 years of river on water Mike Mather is one of the more experienced
and entertaining rescue professionals in the industry. Having taught
courses all over the U.S. and in Europe, Mike’s less than conventional
approach to this topic is anything but dry and effectively drives
swiftwater
rescue concepts home. Mike excels at keeping topics clear, accessible
and applicable for rescue professionals, experienced boaters and novices
alike.

Virginia he finally took on the profession. Doug has kayaked throughout
the Rockies and up into Canada.
