Our community owes its existence to friends and maritime comrades who have embraced this effort since our first day.

Aggelos Christophides and the South Evian Gulf team

Apart from the fact that the kayaker within our own Antonis Sotiropoulos was born and raised paddling with the SEGT, Aggelos and the other members of the team actively supported our initiative and we unanimously made the promotion of sea kayaking our aim. We could not fail to mention Aggelos’ practical and generous help, concerning both equipment, and training, since, apart from being a brotherly friend, he is also our exclusive partner and certified Coastal Kayaking L3 Instructor of the American Canoe Association.

George Kontargiris and exploremessinia

We met George a few years ago as the lead guide of sea activities and paddle expert of the exploremessinia, as well as an instructor, in the context of certification of the British Canoe / Kayak Federation (British Canoeing). Let alone experiencing one of the most beautiful weekends at sea, we gained, apart from the aforementioned certification, a very good friend and supporter of our endeavour. George is our main partner, in the context of the British Federation trainings, as he is one of the first British Canoeing Sea kayak Leader Provider representatives in our country.

OSD are to host large-scale schools and workshops of both the American and British federations, with certified instructors and guests, where, regardless of level, each and every one of us evolves into sea kayaking.

ΤLast, but in no way least, our French friends and fellow travelers, Select Paddles, who are the providers for the excellent paddles we use.
