• Venice is not a beach

    I often tell people that if they get too playful when we’re kayaking, and forget to take the traffic in the city seriously, but on these photos, taken at 7.30 in the morning at a very low tide, it does look like I’m wrong.

  • Evening Paddling in Venice

    Its very hard doing justice to the experience of paddling down the Canal Grande after dark, with only a cheap point-and-shoot camera, but I’m not going to bring my SLR in a kayak.

  • The Ugliest Boat in Venice

    Or maybe just a contender.

  • No Cars in Venice?

  • Sea Kayak Design

    Sea Kayak Design is an Italian kayak brand, well designed and well built. Venice Kayak has three of them, one of each of the original three models. The one on the photos is the 16ft model.

  • Kayaking gear

    Getting ready for a tour, controlling the essential gear.

  • The local parking lot

    On the Certosa island, car free but with kayaks.

  • Cool Dog

    Hanging out on the beach with the chicks, sporting a pair of Raybans for that cool, in control look.

  • If you can pass

    you can pass. Sandolo passing under the church of Santo Stefano in Venice at high tide.

  • My First Motorboat

    Trying to fit a 4HP out board engine on a piece of Styrofoam. They get extra points for trying 🙂

  • Water born dog

    Not all dogs start life as puppies. Some emerge fully grown out of big buckets of water.

  • GondolaSpecs

    Gondoliere wearing SeaSpecs kayaking sunglasses. What will be next? Red and white striped Kokatat Knapsters?
