I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

FAQs:

Q: I lost my fin for my perception highlife kayak paddle board hybrid where can I find a replacement fan?

A: Fins Unlimited, makes fins for surfboards that will fit in the Hi Life. I have one in mine currently because I wanted a smaller fin for shallow sand bars. If you live near a surf shop, they can help you out. Or I'm sure they have a website, also Surf Source a surfing supplier carries a large variety of fins. The Hi Life can use plastic, preferred, or fiberglass,expensive. But they must fit the Fins Unlimited template, which is, a horizontal metal bar at the rear fin base that slides down the channel on Hi Life fin box. And a vertical hole just in front of the forward fin base for the set screw, which must align with Hi Life fin box. Any surfboard fin that fits in a Fins Unlimited fin box should fit the Hi Life.

Q: Anyone know how large the under seat storage is? What are the dimensions or what is the volume (or how many beer cans will fit)?

A: 10” (L) x 11.5” (W) x 5” (D) The actual box is 6.5” deep, but the seat/lid recesses into the area by 1.5”

Q: How comfortable is this kayak? Is it hard to paddle from such an elevated seat?

A: I feel it is easier to paddle because you are elevated. Love, love, love the options. Stand, kneel, sit. Worth every penny!

Q: I’d like to use this in class 1 and 2 whitewater but will def need some foot braces. Are these available to somehow snap onto that lengthwise rail?

A: The Hi Life is specifically designed for paddling on flatter water but it may be possible to retro fit an after-market footbrace kit if needed.
