Your presence, participation and engagement are much appreciated and highly valued. Thank you for being a part of the September 2023 Pilot Summit and Owners gathering. We are thrilled to host you in Nanaimo BC, the home of TRAK HQ.
Our aim over the gathering and the following expedition is to strengthen our
TRAK Pilot Team and to help in elevating select skills while coming together
as a community through the Pilot summit.
The Owner’s Gathering promises skills development from getting to know your TRAK kayak to empowerment on the water through boat handling, self reliance and safety while sharing some of the TRAK community spirit.
