My paddling story began in my youth, with scouts and family camping trips sparking an early connection to the water. Those formative experiences created the foundations for a meaningful interest in paddling, although the rigors of life pulled me away for a while.
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.
Our love for kayaking began over 20 years ago. After purchasing our recreational
vehicle in 2018, we were looking for a way to combine our passion for kayaking
and RV travel without compromising the pleasure of paddling a high-performance
sea kayak, of excellent quality and navigable on various bodies of water.

I have had the pleasure of working directly with TRAK Kayaks for almost a decade now, and am not shy in saying that I possess the deepest understanding around these unique kayaks. I've toured and paddled them extensively, and I know where both their strengths and limitations are - on and off the water!
Simon is a water athlete, educated as an Army Aircraft Engineer who transferred into the Royal Army Physical Training Corps and developed into an adventurous training and resilience leadership professional.
Rita is one of the lucky born and raised in Victoria B.C. on Vancouver Island. In middle school she had the opportunity to try sea kayaking during field trips and decided to participate in elective adventure-based leadership classes in high school that had a large focus on sea kayak touring.
Jordan's journey with kayaking began on the Canadian prairies over 10 years ago and has come to bear fruit since moving to Vancouver Island. The TRAK 2.0 was his first kayak and he was drawn to it for its portability and compact storage profile.
When pondering what would be my new direction after a career in software development and having only dabbled in many outdoor activities for much of my life I decided to take the plunge into a new career in outdoor adventures. After some intensive outdoor leadership training (the 3-month COLT program) on Vancouver Island in 2017, I began kayak guiding and instructing and then alpine ski instructing in Vancouver.
