I am fortunate enough to be living in one of the worlds most richest areas for Sea Kayaking. I picked up the sport in 2009 and have been eager to learn as much as I can.
I am a Firefighter/Paramedic by trade and freelance as a web designer, graphic artist, photographer, video editor, etc. So on this site you will find information related to my services and my passions.

I get a lot of questions about what options people have to track their paddles. For starters, there is the old tried and true, paper journal and pencil which works for people who have not embraced the computer age. The simple answer is that there are no off the shelf programs designed to track our paddle advetures. I have however over the years come up a few solutions and have landed on one that works quite well for me.
Add a commentA new popularity seems to be cropping up here in the northwest and that is the installation and use of a battery operated bilge pump. I believe we have Blue Water Kayak Works to thank for this and their efforts to put a commercial all in one kit offering on the market in the form of the Freedom 500 Electric Bilge Pump. This is an excellent kit that can be taken off the shelf and installed by yourself with just basic mechanical ability required or you can take it to Kayakers Go Coastal and have Rhonda Schwab do it for you for a small pittance.
If you are like me and enjoy getting your hands dirty doing your own dirty work than Ill share with you my DIY electric bilge pump system.

Rogue Wave Adventures does a phenomenal job at creating true Sea Kayakers from casual paddlers.
Their is only one person I go to for kayak repairs and add ons and that is Rhonda Schwab of Kayakers Go Coastal.
