Sea Fever -Kayak Tours & Coaching
Sea-kayak tours, guiding and coaching in Norway, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Germany.
I started coaching and guiding for Manhattan Kayak Co. in 2006, but only now (2026) became a Sea Kayak Leader (BCU) and Aktivitetsleder Hav (Norges Paddleforbund).
Together we will build on your skills, confidence and enthusiasm of this fantastic sport in this amazing, tiny boat.
Sea-Fever is a term as created by John Masefield in a 1885 poem for describing his passion for the sea. John was a trained merchant seaman, and later became a poet who was appointed a British poet laureate in 1930.
Feel free to contact me if you are in need for a BCU and Norges Paddleforbund guide anywhere in Europe.

Sea-Fever
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a small boat and a star to steer her by;
And the bow's spray and the wind’s song and the paddle splashing,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
