About Zip SMTX

In 1994, Kayak Instruction was opened by a professional competitor, Ben Kvanli. It started off as a non-profit organization that focussed on creating river adventures for all ages and abilities. Their objective was to become the top instructional center for kayaking, paralympic canoe/kayak, and Wounded Warrior Adventure Therapy. It has since grown and close to 50,000 kayakers have been trained for the opportunity to compete on the US National Team every year.
