Yves Aquin
- Founder, Owner, Operator and
Instructor |
I started kayaking in the Prairies,
on the northern Saskatchewan lakes in 2001. When I moved to
Victoria in 2006, I decided to specialize in sea kayaking
instruction and here I am now, an instructor and founder of Go
Kayak. An outdoor lover since my teens, I’ve been involved in
various outdoor clubs throughout Canada whether in climbing,
hiking, biking and kayaking. Play is the term I use most often to describe my passion for the outdoors. Come play and enjoy the beautiful environment that
that Vancouver Island has to offer!

I
started kayaking later in life, using the kayak as transportation to go
wilderness camping. As I paddled more and more, I fell in love with
just being on the water. When I am in my boat, it’s as close as I can
get to feel the water without actually being in it. Now, kayaking has
become as much a part of my life as the outdoors. What better way to
combine a little work with a whole lot of play!
