RODDY CLARKe
RODDY CLARKe
QUALIFICATIONS
ISTD BASI Snowboard Teacher
EXPERIENCE
19 Winter Seasons
Roddy has a background in competitive sports which has included racing motor cross and water skiing. Growing up in south west Scotland gave him the opportunity to try all kinds of sports including learning to ski and snowboard in Scotland (quite a basic experience) but as a youngster Roddy was just happy to be in the snow/heather!
Each summer he runs a water ski and wake board school at Loch Ken in southwest Scotland. Roddy's passion lies in off-piste snowboarding. Whether a tight couloir, getting some tree runs in, or open powder field, having adventure and getting some fresh tracks is where it's at! He doesn't mind a walk either! Roddy is very patient and creates a relaxed and confidence inspiring atmosphere to learn in.
