Over the last few years I’ve spend lots of time evaluating various cameras on my guided sea kayaking trips. With almost one sea kayak expedition every month I’m lucky enough to have a large field of practice my photography skills and the various cameras I’ve used over that period.

Waves, wind, kayak hull, paddler height, paddler weight, all must be consider when loading a sea kayak properly for an expedition to the Greek islands and of course else where and of course a proper weather forecast check.

In my experience the most efficient way to gain a good tracking is through use of either a skeg or a rudder. A skeg will perform much better in big waves as it is “staying” inside the water while rudder pedals will be a hell of a work to keep them in the proper position.

Which kayak day trip to select? To answer better this question you need to know roughly where your hotel is in Crete in terms of the map. The easier way to determine this if you are not already in Crete, is to type in Google Maps your hotel name. Then zoom out until you see the whole island and you will get an idea about your location.

On July 6, 2017, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image of Sunglint on the waters around Crete and the Aegean Islands.

I’m thrilled announcing our new long awaiting project!
The design and construction of the first ever composite sea kayak in Greece. That is Nireas (Nireus)!
