TRAK Pilot Ambassadors
Anthony co-owns Kayak ANT with his wife, Renée, in Tarpon Springs, Florida. After growing up in Maine and serving as a U.S. Marine for over 20 years, he was looking for a way to combine his love for the outdoors with his background in teacher education and leadership. He found his calling in outdoor experiential education.
Patrick's goal to complete all the Great Walk in New Zealand had him face the reality and risk of outdoors sports. When on a solo multi-day trip through Whanganui Journey turned into close call on day 2.
Greg Weiss has been sea kayaking since 1990 and a guide since 1994, running trips throughout all of the USA and Baja Mexico. He fell in love with 'skin on frame' kayaking living on the west coast while apprenticing at a kayak building school. In fact, after building his first kayak he sold his trusty Valley boat. "It felt more alive."
Robert is a Coastal sea kayak and Greenland paddling instructor based in Seattle, WA. His core focus falls into two areas - working with paddlers at all levels to help them grow their skills, confidence, and personal passion for the sport and his passion for teaching Greenland paddling skills.
Kerry Alleyne is a Dominican kayaker who started paddling in his teenage years. Back then, Dominica had a popular kayak race scene with sit-on-tops and traditional canoes. He has always been a force to contend with when it comes to speed on a kayak.
James is an ACA L3 Coastal Kayaking Instructor and ACA L4 Open Water Coastal Kayaking assessed paddler. James has worked as an instructor for over 25 years in various outdoor recreational sports including Rock Climbing, Caving, Wilderness Survival and as a High Ropes Course facilitator. He is dedicated to the learning experience and enjoys teaching and sharing knowledge.
For the last 20 years, in some form or another, I have dedicated a good portion of my time to getting people outdoors. Early on I ran a college outdoor program providing services to a 5,000+ student population and trained as a Wilderness EMT. More recently, my passion to help others in their exploration of the natural world has led me to serve as a board member with Bay Area Wilderness Training, an organization that provides a full range of outdoor gear to low-income youth and wilderness training to their teachers. I find TRAK Kayaks liberating: Combining sea kayaking's freedom to paddle whatever route you choose with TRAK's ability to paddle wherever you may be. The TRAK 2.0 is quite simply an engineering marvel and I’m always eager to schedule a product demonstration or lead a Discovery Day. When I’m not paddling my TRAK, engaged in other waterbound play, or otherwise exploring by foot or wheel, I practice environmental law as a Deputy Attorney General for the California Department of Justice.
I have been kayaking for over 30 years, and an ACA Level 4 sea kayak instructor for the past 16 years, with a traditional/Greenland endorsement. I share my passion of kayaking by teaching others at numerous kayaking symposiums, both modern and traditional, in the Midwest. Another way of sharing the kayak experience has been guiding trips on Lake Superior in the Apostles Islands. Getting kayaks to fit the paddler or vice versa has also become a point of focus to realize the full potential from your skills and kayak.
