Manke at the Wreckage

Manke Kayak's official location based in Ucluelet BC. This unique heritage building is a space of inspiration for the kayak and local community with skin on frame qajaq builds, a community presentation lounge and small retail outlet for local art and small kayak items. Open full time in the summer with limited winter hours for the public as the space turns into a kayak building studio during the colder months.

James has been travelling the globe teaching kayak rolling, surfing and rough water clinics over the past 15 years. His true passion is rough water paddling as an active member of The Hurricane Riders. James is also a former International kayak rolling champion. James loves teaching various kayak rolls and helps paddlers transition their fear or anxiety into something that empowers them!
