Giuseppe Debernardi

I am Sea kayak Leader British Canoeing, Sea Kayak Coach Level 3 British Canoeing, GUIDE ISKGA International Sea Kayak Guide Alliance, Coasteering Guide 4 Element.

I am SEA KAYAK 1-2-3 levels certifier for the British Canoeing and for Italian Fick Pagaia Azzurra, but above all I am a strong sea kayak enthusiast.
I deal with sporting activities where the contact between man and the environment is very close. Sea kayaking, Coasteering, Sup, Snorkeling, Orientation.

I forged a strong bond with the sea during a 6-month voyage from Imperia to Martinique, between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, with a 9-meter sailboat, 2 people and a dog. The Atlantic crossing lasted 31 days!

For 20 years I have been the owner of small sailing boats sailing in the northern Tyrrhenian Sea, the Ligurian Sea, the Corsican Sea.
It is precisely through sailing that I approached sea kayaking to be able to experience the coast and the water even more closely.
I paddled Jersey UK 2014 and 2015 Gozo-Malta 2016, Falmouth Cornwall 2017 and 2019, Wales to Anglesey in 2018 and can't wait to continue the list.

Speaking of sea kayaking, I am interested in different schools of thought, open to new stimuli and eager to spend time in the water.

I collaborate with Vibram Five Fingers, Native to wear, Gearlab outdoor.
