FEATURED PHOTOGRAPH – Early Morning

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.  That’s what Quix is all about. There’s something new all the time.  I’m glad you stopped by and I hope you find something interesting!
