About me

Location Rijswijk, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands
Introduction Qualifications: · BCU 5-Star Sea, BCU Level-4 Sea Coach / A4 Sea Assessor · NKB Sea Kayak Senior Instructor History: After extensive solo backpacking trips in the western and north-western states of the USA, Canada and Alaska between 1988 and 1993 I took up kayaking in 1994. A year later I started sea kayaking with the national Peddelpraat (translates as "Paddle Talk") club and attended their annual sea kayak instruction weeks ever since. I went on trips with friends to Isle of Mull (1997), Shetland (1998), West coast of Chichagof and Yakobi Island in Alaska (1999), German Bight (2000), Islay (2001), Outer Hebrides (2002) and Faeroe Islands (2004). In 2003 I paddled with a friend around the Netherlands by sea kayak; 1241 km in 28 days.
