Kayak Camps

Jesper Uncategorized

Since I was a kid, I use to go out for fishing and to sail with my father. I still remember that time like yesterday. Now, when I am a grown-up man with lesser time in hand and children of my own, I somehow have lost the will to go back to the sea to relax for a while. Since I am a sea enthusiast, my wife surprised me by planning a kayaking and camping trip. From that year on, I don’t remember a year when my family and I did not manage to be out in the wild, paddling until we find our camping destination.
