THE TEAM

Austin Adams
Owner, Outdoor Guide, Camp Director/Counselor, Accountant, Promoter, etc.

An elementary school teacher for the past fourteen years, this business grew out of a need to "survive" during the summer.  In 2015, Austin started this business with two kayaks, forty dollars, and a lot of friends nice enough to let him borrow kayaks, and he is very proud of what it has become. He grew up kayaking, boating, playing in the marsh, and exploring the waters of the Bogue Sound, about an hour north of Wilmington and has been exploring the waters around Wilmington for the past twenty years.
