We are here to help you have a great time on the water
Kayaking is one of the most popular outdoor activities, but for beginners, it isn’t always easy to get started.
Where should you go? How do you stay safe, kayaking is after all a water sport? What are the right techniques? What kayak should you get? Recreational, touring, or inflatable? And how about related gear? Etc etc.
Since our start in 2016, we have helped hundreds of thousands of beginning kayakers find answers to these and other questions.
We hope that you’ll find our website useful as well. If you have any questions or want to get involved in any way, send us a message or contact us on Facebook.
