Sascha comes from a heritage of folding kayaks and paddling in Germany and in family lineage. His grandparents paddled folding kayaks in the 1930’s, and his father was also an avid paddler. Being drawn to skin-on-frame kayaks and the intuitive feel on the water, Sascha owned another brand of folding kayak several years ago, but sold it as his lifestyle changed and he started to work as business trainer and coach. Recently, he got the idea to combine his ever so fresh passion for kayaking with his profession – taking his coachees out on kayaking trips to experience the soothing effect of paddling and to learn new communication skills at the same time.
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.
