Paddling with a Purpose: Gabriel's Story
The conditions are perfect for a kayaking trip.
A pair of swans and their offspring depart from the docks and swim into the mist.
“Kayaking is all about community”,
he says when asked what he loves most about his job.
the flowers on the rocky shoreline,
the never-before-seen routes that you can almost get lost in,
the silence,
feeling the vastness of the water when you are in a storm alone, surrounded by 2-meter waves,
being one with Saaristo nature.
He wants everyone to have the opportunity to experience this feeling of peace, even once in their life.
“When I am on the water, it feels like home”
On the shore of Korpoström, today's group has arrived. Gabriel goes to greet them.
As the kayaks slide into the deep blue water, the journey begins.
