My first memorable paddling adventure was in fifth or sixth grade. My school friend had acquired this old folding kayak that we used for going down our very first “rapid” on the creek that his dad had dropped us off at. Unfortunately, my great hopes for more of such adventures did not come true at this time.

I first learned about TRAK kayaks while working as a sea kayak guide in Australia, and immediately loved the idea of being able to pack up my gear and take it to places around the world. Being an avid traveler and having lived in 16 cities around the world, the highlight of my life so far has to be paddling and guiding groups around the Whitsunday Islands and fjords of New Zealand.

Sascha Bosetzky

Sascha comes from a heritage of folding kayaks and paddling in Germany and in family lineage. His grandparents paddled folding kayaks in the 1930’s, and his father was also an avid paddler. Being drawn to skin-on-frame kayaks and the intuitive feel on the water, Sascha owned another brand of folding kayak several years ago, but sold it as his lifestyle changed and he started to work as business trainer and coach. Recently, he got the idea to combine his ever so fresh passion for kayaking with his profession – taking his coachees out on kayaking trips to experience the soothing effect of paddling and to learn new communication skills at the same time.
