Schaefer Yaks

I love kayaking! ❤️❤️❤️

Here you'll find the honest, unfiltered side of life on the water — instructing, paddling with Team Festive Water, and navigating the beautiful chaos of work, parenting, and home. Fun, a little educational, and always real. Every video is a piece of my passion to grow this sport. 

The big questions drive me: How do we make kayaking better? How do we strengthen this community? How do we do it together? I'm figuring it out stroke by stroke — come figure it out with me!
