About Us

Kayaking was founded in 2012 with a mission to bridge the information gap on the internet about kayaking. As a news website dedicated to all things kayaking, we recognized that there was a lack of reliable and unbiased sources for kayakers to turn to.

Our story began when our founder, Alexei Ryzhkov, noticed that most online resources were focused on commercial interests rather than providing accurate information about the sport. With a passion for kayaking himself, Alexei saw an opportunity to create a platform where enthusiasts could share their experiences, learn from each other, and stay up-to-date with the latest news and trends.

Since our inception, we’ve experienced significant milestones, including the launch of our mobile app in 2015 and the addition of video content in 2017. Our team has grown to include experts in journalism, design, and development, all united by a shared passion for kayaking.

Our Purpose

At Kayaking, our purpose is to provide high-quality, unbiased information that informs and inspires our readers. We believe that kayaking should be accessible to everyone, regardless of skill level or experience. Our mission is to empower our audience with the knowledge they need to take their paddling to the next level.
