Welcome to expeditionkayak.com
The aim of this website is to enable you to discover and share the world of expedition sea kayaking. Even if you have never ‘enjoyed’ putting on cold, wet kayaking clothes day after day, never felt the need to paddle for 10 (or more) hours without getting out of your kayak or never fancied the idea of eating freeze dried food for a month, but enjoy reading about people that do, then this site is for you.
This site is a portal to a world of adventure through the sport of sea kayaking. It is also an opportunity for the sea kayaking community to share wisdom and experience. For the wannabe expedition kayaker it is a valuable resource to help you plan your first adventure. For the seasoned explorer it is a way to share your adventures with a wider audience and in so doing share your experience and knowledge gained and perhaps enable others to follow in your wake. As well as good karma, you will hopefully receive publicity that may attract the funding and support you’ll need for your next challenge.
We would like to add your expedition to this website. If you can send images and text via the form here. That would be great. Thank you.
Add your expedition here
Expeditonkayak.com was originally built by myself for Sean Morley to promote and publicise his expedition around the British Isles in 2004. We promoted the daily updates and progress through the site from emails as Sean progressed clockwise around the British Isles from Falmouth. Sean has since moved to the USA and for many years was a kayak instructor in the San Francisco area. I however, I live in Devon in the UK where I paddle with my local club. I am also an Instructor but expeditions aren’t what I do. – I will happily add your expedition or kayak adventure details to this site and keep it going. Please send photographs for use on the site and as much text as you like! Thank you, Dominic.
