Faroe Des Roches

Raised on the sea air and rain of coastal British Columbia,  my paddling career arguably began in a Klepper, asleep between my parent's legs.  I took my first kayak instructor course in 2004 and began working as an instructor with Ecomarine Paddlesport Centres, finding a passion and eventually a career. 


In 2010, I undertook my first major sea kayak expedition, a two month journey from along the BC coast from Kitimat to Vancouver, BC. I caught the expedition fever and, from 2013-2019, I led multi-week wilderness expeditions, kayaking and hiking in Alaska, Baja California, British Columbia, Patagonia and the Yukon with NOLS.

Along with raising two small children, I work as a
 Guide Trainer and Instructor Trainer with SKILS and am on the Board of Directors of the
Sea Kayak Guide Alliance of BC.
