"Why We Kayak" - Official Sea Kayak Short Documentary 

I found kayaking kinda late in life, last summer, at age 54, but since then I take every chance I get to spend time on the water...usually by myself...still. But watching your vid has strengthened my desire to go on collective tours with a bunch of cool dudes who share that passion for paddling. Thanx for sharing your story and greeting from Germany.

Very cool doco, what a great fun experience. Thx....you're the speed bumps @17mins, lol!!!

You've got me grinningjust into the trip. I could sense the feeling you guys had first morning. 👍👍 Loved it guys. I'm 70, you're right even a couple times a year is nice. All my floating bud are gone. I have one or two. Don't let go gents. Thanks

I wish some of you could have joined me on my trip, at least through Maine. On May 1st 2017 I set out from Quoddy Head Light for Key West Florida. I had to be 3 miles offshore going down the Bold Coast. Maine was beautiful.

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Perfect

Fantastic vlog, the trip wow the trip. Live in the moment.

My family used to rent a house for a week every summer on or near MDI. Sometimes in Hall Quarry, once on Grindstone Neck. I'm the last continuing sea kayaker in my family. Some of the best adventures/ conditions/ scenery/ wildlife I've ever experienced from any kind of boat has been in that area from my kayak. My favorite day was with my brother, island hopping in the fog and rain using chart and compass from the Bar Harbor boat ramp to the Ironbound Island sea caves and then back. Now that I know someone like you is in the area, I will definitely try and go back and have you as my guide- I like your approach and vision.

Great story ! A lot of the commentary in the video about why we kayak rang very true. For me it’s the ability to go where you want as fast or as slow as you like without being encumbered by limits of engines and fuel and a thousand bits of hardware. Great job you lucky lucky devils

Loved it 🥰 Sitting here in my basement with a new kayak on the floor just loonging for my first trip. Close to 60 years and don’t want to waste a minute. Have tried it before. This video just confirmed how great it is to be on the water with friends. Thank you. Lots of regards from Denmark - a country with a LOT of water close by.

Just found this, makes me want to get right back on the water (ha ha, just got home from paddling). Go to Stonington a couple of times a year, the Maine coast is very special.

Great job on this video, captures what it’s all about. If you don’t mind my asking, what is the instrumental track that plays when you’re having music around the campfire?

Tremendous! You really captured the "spiritual" aspect of the experience. I have only done multi day flat water trips...sometime soon I want to tackle the area you paddled. Thanks and peace...(oh, and Tullamore Dew for all)

I was crossing the mouth of a small harbor and I had an Orca breach the water 3 feet off my bow

wow, very envious,

Great one, loved it!

same coastline as Norway

Unplugged. Yep!

If you have a good dry suit, you should be fine and hypothermia is not likely.

Ditch the tent and buy a hammock tent...
