This shot is from the trip!!

The hottest kayak on the planet

Here is a 'hot-off-the-presses-look' at the new Spartan VI that I designed for this trip. It's shown here waiting to be launched on it's maiden voyage at the Victoria MEC Paddlefest held yesterday on Cadboro Beach. The reviews so far are extremely positive and I'm anxious to use it on our trip.

New boat designed by Robin

Here is a sneek peek at the all new Spartan that will be used on the trip. After 2 years of development and months of testing, this kayak is destined to be the ultimate warrior on the water.

Cool Gear

Here is a peek at some of the new advanced gear we will be using on the trip. This is the new Integrated GPS unit that comes installed on the Titan VI Pro Touring kayak.

Welcome

Hi, and welcome to my blog.

My name is Robin Thacker and I am the owner and designer of Atlantis Kayaks. Inc. located right here on Vancouver Island. This summer a few friends and I will attempt to kayak through Vancouver Island by sea kayak. The trip begins at sea level, is 157 km long, rises upward 2 km, and crosses the complete width of Vancouver Island from Cambell River on the east coast to Bedwell Sound on the west coast.
The trip entitled "A Slice Through Paradise" is being documented to show how fragile the spectacularly pristine state of our Island is.
