Kayaker Erik BoomerAfter a 65-day Instagram/Internet/shower vacation I am back from the expedition! We had the trip of a lifetime and traveled more than 1,000 kilometers across Baffin Island. Here we’re testing out our handmade kayaks near Pangnirtung, Baffin. —@EBoomer Read Erik Boomer’s Adventurer of the Year profile.
