Location: Nelson BC

For me, Kayaking is all about connecting with the elements, particularly water and having a mindful inner journey while having a great time paddling and connecting with Nature. The TRAK portable kayak allows me to do this.


I have had the great opportunity to attend a TRAK surfing camp in Tofino and a yearly TRAK pilot symposium which is always a great experience to learn more paddling skills and connect with like minded humans.


I enjoy long solo kayak trips on Kootenay and Slocan Lakes in the interior of BC near Nelson BC. These fresh water lakes nested among the mountains are a beautiful way to enjoy this part of BC. If you are ever in the area and want to explore or see a TRAK Portable Kayak, please reach out to me.
