Why I Kayak: Kayaking is the shit! From the lifestyle to the people to the epic locations you travel to, it is amazing! Kayaking takes you to so many places you normally would never travel to before, and lets you see so many cool places. It presents physical and mental challenges on a daily basis and teaches you to take the “bull by the horns” and get er’ done. Wohoo!
