Four months of road tripping with the best of friends. Kayaking, camping and generally enjoying a KAVU day every day!
Although kayaking is a lifestyle choice and there are many reasons we choose it, no one can deny ADRENALINE plays its part.
What really rounds off a good day is the beautiful places we get camp, cook and call home every night of the week.

After those hard days, it always nice to return home to our van camping life.
