Welcome To KayakQuixotica.com. Quix is simply a personal website of someone who kayaks. Every one of us who gets into sea kayaking crosses through many of the same experiences; learning new skills, exploring our local environments, traveling, shopping for decent gear and sometimes just putting the kayak away and thinking about something completely different.
