About me:
David Hicks- Instructor, Guide, Manager
David Hicks has been playing in the waters of the California coastline since he was a young child growing up in Southern California. After spending his college years in Santa Cruz kayaking and sailing on the Monterey Bay, he headed north with his touring band to Washington and Alaska where he spent lots of time sea kayaking and backpacking. After running away from the wet and cold he came back to California where he started teaching sailing and backpacking classes in the Monterey Bay area, and started kayak guiding with the Kayak Connection. David has a passion for sharing the natural world and kayaking, and has been guiding and coaching for the past four years in the Monterey Bay. When not working as an instructor or manager with Kayak Connection he spends his time playing in the amazing rock gardens of the Central California coast and surf kayaking in the beautiful Monterey Bay.
The following are the details of my service:
Kayak Connection offers the highest quality sea kayak guiding and instruction on the Monterey Bay. We offer tours of the Elkhorn Slough, the open waters of the Monterey Bay, and Point Lobos where at each location sea otters, seals, sea lions, whales, dolphins, and shorebirds are abundant. Our instructional courses teach everything from the basics of sea kayaking to advanced kayak surfing and expedition paddling.
