Who is behind Smart-Start-Kayaking.com?

Just me ... my kayak and paddle. So welcome to my corner of the internet.

I wanted to share information and tips with folks who, like me, had to start somewhere! Those folks who are interested in kayaking who need a little help figuring things out or those who just need that boost of confidence that knowledge provides.

I've always loved the water, I sailed for many years - first a 34 foot sloop and then a 23 foot Sea Sprite, both beautiful boats. But I fell in love with kayaking when I moved to a house on a lake about 9 years ago. Sailing and kayaking have something really nice in common . . . quiet enjoyment. To untie a line and paddle off to tranquility is a wonderful thing. Even a short paddle can recharge your batteries.


I truly hope you find this site helpful. Smart-Start-Kayaking.com is only a few months old now - it's visitors are growing - thank you!

So where is this site headed?

Well ... I hope you will tell me!    Your feed back helps me focus on topics that will benefit other beginners.

When you're finished paddling around the site (no hurry please) . . . go to the Feed Back  page and let me know your thoughts. (It's completely anonymous - no personal information) and it only takes a minute.


If you're interrupted or want to share the site reference with a friend, you can bookmark any page you're on by clicking on the "Share" Widget on the top or bottom of most pages.

Thanks so much, I know you'll enjoy kayaking as much as I do.
Happy paddling!
