Host of Facing Waves & PaddleTV, world-champion kayaker, and paddlesports expert. My goal is inspiring people to get outside and explore the world! đ
I took a break this winter to go visit my parents in Florida, and I thought it would be great to paddle down the Myakka River. This river is well known for having the healthiest populations of alligators in Florida! đ„Žđ Didnât expect to get so close to them thoughâŠ
Full video is up on PaddleTV on YouTube!

I am excited to share that my Wild Discovery - Kayaking Lake Superior episode has won the Sea Kayaking Category at this yearâs Waterwalker Film Festival!
Being recognized by the worldâs longest-running paddling film festival, founded by the legendary Bill Mason, is a true honour. This award celebrates not only the adventure on the water, but also the beauty of our waterways in Canada.
A heartfelt thank you to Paddle Canada and the Waterwalker Film Festival for this recognition, and to everyone who has followed along on my journey. Hereâs to more exploration, storytelling, and inspiring others to get out on the water! đ

Melker VĂ€rmdö â The Ultimate & Versatile Touring Kayak
đ± High-performance and playful for experienced paddlers
đ± A perfect progression kayak for light touring
đ± The HV version accommodates larger paddlers â rare in this lightweight performance segment
đ± Widely used by instructors thanks to its responsiveness and ease of teaching
đ± Lightweight and compact â easy handling on and off the water
ââŠMelkerâs Varmdo is much more than one of the most beautiful kayaks ever built.
Itâs a very accessible, fast and playful touring kayak that glides through flatwater beautifully, and provides the confidence and handling characteristics to excel in all types of water.
Itâs a kayak that flatwater paddlers will love, and that hardcore kayakers will enjoy surfing and playing in rough water withâŠâ

This beautiful moment comes from Kari Boss (Arizona, USA), who shared:
âI was attracted to Melker because of the Swedish aesthetic, but it was the environmental construction that really sold me on the kayaks.
This morning I was camping at Lake Mead, AZ and was woken up by a family of wild burros. The sun was just coming up, and the lake had this pink glow that only happens in the desert.â
Again, many thanks for sharing your special #melkermoment â€ïž

Solo kayaking is about finding rhythm, clarity, and a little bit of yourself in every wave. đ¶
