TRAK Pilot Ambassadors
I’m drawn to kayaking for the same reasons that first pulled me into the outdoors: self-reliance, quiet movement through landscapes, and the time it creates for learning and reflection. TRAK kayaks align naturally with that approach: thoughtful travel, adaptability, and access without excess to places where connection still feels quiet and real.
I got my passion for paddling when I went canyoning in Austria in 1997. From then on, I became enthusiastic about various outdoor sports, which was not so easy as a Berlin citizen, Berlin was still the center of my life.
Originally from Dublin, Ireland, I live in Berlin, Germany. I first kayaked as a teenager on a school trip to the west coast of Ireland and began regularly kayaking about 15 years ago upon moving to Berlin, in no small part due to the 3000+ lakes in the region.
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!
Born and raised completely landlocked in former East Germany I have always been drawn to the water, feeling the strong need to be in it and on it. With that keenness I took every opportunity to get out on the water ideally for multi-day trips and first set out sailing and canoeing.
