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.
I love the capability and utility of the TRAK kayak and LOVE to talk about the boats and the company with anyone who is interested - and the kayak always bring interested folks around. Work moved me away from the ocean to Colorado for a few years from 2020-2023 where I expanded my water based activities into white water rafting.
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.

Ambitious and dedicated to adventure, Antonio loves that touring with a TRAK can get you anywhere. Antonio spends a good chunk of his time in the great outdoors and is always planning for his next big expedition; in his beloved Spain or somewhere farther afield.
Peter Schoedl & Nathalie Marik
It can be hard to walk away from a good thing, but that is exactly the path that Peter and Nathalie have chosen. They've sold their successful sports medicine practice in their native Austria to be able to embark on an "indefinite departure" starting in April of 2023.
For me, kayaking offers incredible flexibility, allowing me to seek both peaceful retreats and exhilarating adventures. It’s the perfect way to immerse myself in nature while enjoying the comfort and protection of a kayak, especially during long journeys where I can carry more gear compared to hiking.
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.
