Paddling is one of the few outdoor activities a family can grow into year after year. A four-year-old can ride safely in the bow of a stable kayak while a parent strokes from the stern.

I know what you’re thinking. Europe in December? With a teenager?

In my family, we have always chosen experiences over things. Birthdays are not about what lands on the table wrapped in a bow. They are about where you go, what you taste, and who you are with when it happens. So when I started thinking about how to mark turning 51, the answer came quickly: […]
