Paddle Like a Girl

Kayak between women

Paddle like a Girl. A space created to give more protagonism to women in sports and kayaking.

We have created a new project to enhance female sport and give women more protagonism. An event designed to learn, improve and take care of ourselves through Kayaking. During the months of the summer season, “Paddle Like a Girl” will be held. We have prepared 4 days of kayaking, very dynamic and emotional, led by some of the best instructors, athletes and specialists we have in Catalonia.
We will learn from 6 inspiring women who will introduce us to 3 different styles of kayaking, yoga and emotional management workshops applied to adventure sports, all with the exceptional landscape of the Cap de Creus Natural Park as a background.

We want more women to come and paddle with us and above all, we want them to continue.

Laia Bedòs

Artista- Art terapeuta
Estic aquí per compartir la meva passió i el que més m'ajuda a la vida: la pintura i l'art per a la gestió emocional. El meu principal VALOR és la TRANSPARÈNCIA. Per mi la transparència significa poder expressar les emocions que sento sense limitacions o tabús fent una feina conscient. Crec que quan millor és la relació que tens amb les teves emocions, més gran és el benestar que sents i també millora la relació amb els altres, sent més respectuosa i transparent. Soc guia de muntanya i guia de kayak i m'apassionen tots els esports a la natura.

Agata Sobieraj Jakubiec

Instructora d'aigües braves
Hello everyone! I'm Agata, originally from Poland. My kayaking journey began with my family, exploring the wilds of Poland on an 'Indian' canoe. At the age of 14, I embarked on freestyle kayaking and a year later got into the Polish national team. Representing Poland for several years, I achieved multiple podium finishes in international events. As my passion for kayaking grew, I also delved into the thrilling realm of extreme kayaking races, conquering some of the world's most challenging rivers. Since I turned 18, I have actively worked as a kayaking coach and raft guide in the Austrian Alps, Iceland, France, and Catalonia (Girona). As a female representative, I truly believe that we are a minority in the world of extreme sports. That's why I'm passionate about supporting initiatives like this one. I'm actively involved in several female clinics across Europe, and I'm enthusiastic about promoting kayaking as a fantastic activity for girls and women of all ages!

Aneliya Trendafilova

Instructora de Kayak mar
Hola, sóc Aneliya i vaig néixer a Sofia. Quan tenia només 1 any vaig conèixer el mar i aquest va ser un amor que sempre m'acompanya. L'any 2016 em vaig graduar del Postgrau de Guia i Ecoturisme a Barcelona i vaig decidir fer les meves pràctiques al Cap de Creus. Aquí vaig descobrir la meva passió pel caiac i des de llavors he estat navegant pel mar d'amunt i per tota la Costa Brava. El kayak m’ha ensenyat a gaudir de la mar en calma i de la mar brava, em permet descobrir racons màgics als que no arribaria mai d’una altra manera i sobretot s’ha convertit en un mitja per transmetre i compartir tot el que se i tot el que estimo. Soc guia acreditada del Parc Natural del Cap de Creus i guia de kayak de mar TD2 de la Federació catalana de Piragüisme i en aquest últim any estic decobrint una nova passio - el Surfski.

Practice ecotourism on the Costa Brava

Sustainability

We understand kayaking as a means of discovering our own region and that it helps us to get to know the fauna and flora, and we do this by seeking a return to the local population, generating the minimum possible impact and making our ecotourism experiences have a regenerative character with the environment.

Commitment

At Sk Kayak we promote ecotourism activities in which all the services we offer our users are of quality, responsible and committed to the environment, the environment and the territory that surrounds us.

Accessible

Let us make our activities Universal. When designing them we take into account that they are suitable for people with different functional capacities through the identification of Sensory Interest Points (SIP) where we work on sensory experiences with a minimum of 3 senses.

Do you have any doubts?

If you have any questions about the event, don't hesitate to contact us.
