Inside TRAK

During the depths of a northern winter, it’s easy to put your kayaks away, hang up your paddles, and eagerly wait for the return of longer days and more temperate weather. For many, our thoughts turn to ski season, hot chocolate, and playing in the snow; we are a culture that embraces our weather, making the most of the frigid temperatures. Not everyone is in love with our winters though — many Canadians book their departures to warm climates, gathering like migratory birds at all inclusive resorts in the south. For those seeking an adventure beyond the resort communities, a little bit of effort to get off the beaten track can result in great rewards!

As a kayak manufacturer, when you’re busy running a business, it’s easy to get stuck in the weeds.

Join TRAK in celebrating a precious piece of earth called the Tongass. We’ve partnered with the Sitka Conservation Society to protect the temperate rainforest that forms a bridge between Canada and the United States.

With family there’s no real distance that separates. We are all related in a family,whether we’re in the next room or in our case, 11,000 km (7,000 miles) away! That’s the distance between TRAK HQ in Airdrie, Alberta, in Canadian foothills and the coastal town of Mariveles, Bataan, Philippines. Half the TRAK extended family, ironically, is halfway around the world, across the largest ocean on the shores of the South China Sea. There’s a lot more open water over there and so fitting, because that’s the side of the family that actually builds our kayaks.
