Location: Victoria, British Columbia.

I am an avid paddler from Victoria, BC and try to get out on the water as often as possible.

I like to paddle everything from flatwater to tideraces, surf and rock gardens, and the TRAK does all of these! When I travel, my TRAK allows me to paddle in places that would otherwise be off limits, and to paddle a kayak that performs!

We often hear that the paddle doesn't roll a kayak, we do. The same applies to turning the kayak. We, the paddler, are directly connected to the kayak and it's our body movement which provides the control.

The better the fit, the better the control, and therefore, the better the...
