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:

    Can you stay dry if submerged? Great question! It is supposed to, otherwise why pay that kind of money! I just tested my dry suit in the ocean and it filled with water because I had not zipped it properly. There was a tiny space at the bottom of the zipper. So I emptied the water and pushed the zipper into place. It stayed dry! It's important to "burp" the dry suit before you paddle or it fills with air and you would not be able to get back in the kayak! KOKATAT makes the BEST Dry suit and is made in the USA! Is there a size chart available? I had to look online for the size chart. Google "Kokotat women’s hydrus swift dry suit sizing" and you should be able find it.
