Show Notes
What does real risk management look like when planning a kayak trip?
In this episode, we explore how to identify, prevent, and manage risks — from the early planning stages to decisions made on the water and even back on land. Preparation, sound judgment, and responsibility are at the heart of every successful trip.
My guest Mike Gilbert, recognized as one of Canada’s top sea kayak instructors. With over 15 years of experience as an instructor, coach, and guide, Mike has paddled across most provinces and territories in Canada, as well as in the United States, Mexico, Iceland, and New Zealand.
Today, Mike consults in corporate risk management through Paçantic Risk Management Corporation, and during the warmer months he teaches and guides along Canada’s beautiful — and challenging — West Coast.
We used two rescues examples from YouTube:
