TRAK Pilot Ambassadors

JP and Irene discovered their love of kayaking in 2013 after a few casual paddling sessions and immediately began assembling their kayak fleet. TRAK owners since 2016, JP and Irene appreciate the unique opportunity that kayaking has provided to see things different. They are frequent explorers of the Rideau Canal system which links Ottawa to Kingston, and enjoy adventures in the extensive system of locks, lakes, and rivers which make up the canal and are eager to see more of Canada’s vast waterways. Follow their photo blog, Xplordinary, on social media to see footage of their extraordinary adventures!

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.
