About

Hello from the staff at InflatableKayakWorld.com!

Who are the staff? Well the staff consists of only me… my name is Allison Mac. I am located in beautiful British Columbia which offers (in my opinion) some of the most stunning kayaking in the world.

I originally started this project as a team with my mother Renae. Together we brainstormed, created, designed, researched and wrote every aspect of this site in order to share information and help other passionate paddlers out there who love to enjoy the benefits of inflatable kayaking.

Sadly in late 2010 my mother passed away and Inflatable Kayak World became a solo project for me. However my mothers love for the sport of kayaking and for the outdoors in general will hopefully live on through the hundreds of hours she spent working on this website.

Below are a few words about me…

I started kayaking roughly fourteen years ago and have paddled on nearly every type of water, except on heavy whitewater rapids. I leave the real crazy rapids for my brother as he is a whitewater kayaking maniac. I on the other hand am more of a recreational kind of girl.

I love the feeling of paddling across a peaceful lake and watching an eagle sore over my head or making my way up a winding river and exploring the lush foliage or even paddling across the open sea to a small island destination.

Kayaking is really my perfect ride… peaceful, eco-friendly, a great outdoor workout and that sense that you have become one with the elements. I adore it!

Using an inflatable kayak was suggested to me by a friend. I loved the idea immediately and don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it sooner as it really suited my lifestyle and needs.

For one I absolutely LOVE to travel. I have often rented kayaks while traveling so that I could explore my destination further through their water ways. With an inflatable kayak I realized I could very easily bring it along with me anywhere I go. This opened a whole new world of traveling options and I was thrilled.

Second, I don’t have room to store a large hard-shell kayak. An inflatable is simply much more convenient. Transporting my inflatable is also a dream as I just throw the carry case in the trunk of my car and away I go. Seriously easy.

I did a whole lot of research when looking into owning an inflatable kayak and learned a lot about their quality and performance. These kayaks have come a long long way over the years and are extremely durable and safe.

This site became a reality by combining my love to write (I am the sole writer and researcher for InflatableKayakWorld.com) and my passion to paddle.

I hope to share everything I have learned about inflatable kayaks with anyone out there willing to learn, listen and try.

Cheers and Happy Paddling!
Allison
