Link in profile or YouTube.com/kayakhipster. Pool sessions have always been a positive part of my learning and development as a paddler, so I wanted to share some reasons of why it's been so positive for me. Between just having fun with friends, to pushing boundaries, to teaching or taking lessons, pool sessions can help tremendously. #paddlingmixtape #optoutside #mypaddlestory #justaddwater

During this day of learning, @virgilthetriathlete did his first roll in surf, and it was awesome to see his confidence continue to increase with every roll. Often times, it’s just in our head. If we focus on the basics, we can succeed a lot more than we expect. Also helps that he’s a fitness monster. #paddlingmixtape #surf #optoutside #paddleforever #mypaddlingstory #ontario

So, for this series of shots, I asked everyone to aim for me as they surfed by so they could get as close as possible while I swam in the waves. Some took my instructions a bit more seriously than others………. @losteloquence #paddlingmixtape #surf #mypaddlestory #optoutside #paddleforever #justaddwater

Speaking of laughs, here we were definitely NOT laughing at @leerichardson33 trying to launch and being knocked over by a tiny wave. Def not. #paddlingmixtape #optoutside #justaddwater #surf #mypaddlestory #littleboatbigtide #zerofun

If you’re looking to have #zerofun on the water, make sure you don’t paddle with @adam_constantine. Although, it’s always easy to spot where he is on the wave by the booming laugh. #paddlingmixtape #optoutside #littleboatbigtide #mypaddlestory #surf

@force_fitness_norway posted an awesome story of @matt.skuse cooking on a kayak while they were out on a trip. Check it out! #paddlingmixtape #optoutside #mypaddlestory #kayaklife

Link in profile or YouTube.com/kayakhipster. Highlights from 2019 and a huge THANK YOU to everyone that interacts with these channels. It’s been awesome to see so many stories shared, questions, suggestions, please keep them coming. 2019 was not as filled with paddling as I wanted, but that’s how it goes sometimes. I pulled some of the highlights and put them together, I hope you enjoy. And thanks to @cloud9kayak for catching this moment!#paddlingmixtape #optoutside #mypaddlestory #surf #paddleforever #justaddwater #adventureproof @nrsweb @nimbus_paddles @we_are_sungod @sterlingskayaks

#8 – Our trip out to Mendocino (link to vid in profile). Several days filled with paddling, training, exploration, and all around enjoying the Pacific. Cate and Jeff were kind enough to share their playground, and along with Chris, Snowy and Matt sharing their experience and expertise we had a blast all around.@womanonwater @jefflaxier @liquidfusionkayak @sprakman @14mattkane @daggerkayaks @nimbus_paddles @nrsweb @we_are_sungod #paddlingmixtape #optoutside #justaddwater #mypaddlestory #mendocino #surf #andventureproof

Huge congrats to @thefallentrail for reaching his incredible goal – 100 days of paddling for the year. Crushed it! Cheers dude. #100daypaddlechallenge #paddlingmixtape #optoutside #mypaddlestory #justaddwater

I had to take a bit of a break from making vids, social channels, etc. I’m slowly picking things up again, and I always enjoy finding fun clips while sorting through footage. Here’s a fun little ride from earlier in the year. Currently, there’s 5-6 videos in the works (tips, overviews, reviews) and am making my way through cleaning up photos from recent trips. Hope to share soon. Happy Monday!#paddlingmixtape #justaddwater #optoutside #adventureproof #surf #mypaddlestory

#7 – A couple of years back (vid in profile) we had a mid-winter day that essentially felt like summer, with glassy waters and beautiful skies as we paddled the Long Island Sound. We visited execution rocks, hopped around and took a break from the short days and cold weather. It was a wonderful reminder that our local playgrounds can look and feel very different depending on conditions, and it’s always fun to explore them at different times throughout the year. @datalapper @kayakeandoando @fgeyfman #paddlingmixtape #optoutside #mypaddlestory #justaddwater

So pumped to have been a part of the @nordicfilmdays in Lübeck, Germany!!! During this film festival, Ralph and team showed 360 films from the Nordic region in this insane dome structure, and they screened our time exploring Bøfjorden when we visited @saltysea_larsaron. Thank you for having us be a part of such a cool experience!! I just wish we could have seen it in person….

#6 – This wave hug. This was my very first true “action shot” with my a gopro. We had spent the day playing in waves, and this shot captured such a fun moment from an awesome time on the water. I thought it really conveyed how much fun vs how scary it might seem, and was stoked to share that. We learned a ton that day, and the experience certainly helped push my comfort level in waves. #paddlingmixtape #optoutside #justaddwater #mypaddlestory #surf

#5 – This was my first drone photo while on the water. Unlike drones today, that are getting smaller than a phone, this monster required a 50 liter drybag and most of my front hatch (and 2 other 10 liter bags for the controller and batteries). Nothing smart about it, no return to home, minimal gps. If anything happened, it would try to land where it was… not the best for water shots. I remember on a trip to Maine, I had my low volume Isel and chose to give up a lot of my gear to fit the drone instead. (Video in profile) and I ended up losing some of the footage (long story). @fgeyfman and @kayakeandoando were always willing to come out with me for testing of new equipment. I miss those calmer weekends before kid schedules came. One quick note on drones, please always be conscious of other people and wildlife if you choose to fly. If you see wildlife you might disrupt, please opt not to fly and find another time or place. #paddlingmixtape #optoutside #paddleforever #mypaddlestory

#4 – When we had our kid years ago, I looked for a project where I could spend a couple of hours here and there over the course of a winter in my basement. Little did I know that my first venture into traditional paddling would bring me to meet an amazing community of paddlers eager to share their skills and help each other out. On my first summer after building this skin on frame I made it to two Qajaq USA events, and then have tried to make it to as many as possible each year. If you get the chance, I highly recommend any of the traditional paddling events around the country, and there’s many around the world as well. #paddlingmixtape #optoutside #qajaq #hrgf #paddleforever #mypaddlestory

Link to video in my profile! For #3, years ago I spent a week of training down in South Carolina. One of the programs was on incident management, and we were so honored to get to run some simulations with the USCG. We had a rescue team take us through a full rescue swimmer deployment while we were rafted up, and we each in turn got the chance to talk directly to the helicopter and help them maneuver to find us.Later in the day we also ran some simulations with a small boat as well. They were so inspiring, and we were so thankful that they were able to take the time to work with us. You can see clips from the entire day in the video posted on my profile. #paddlingmixtape #mypaddlingstory #justaddwater #optoutside #paddleforever #uscg
