Dear Paddlers,

I founded Coastal Kayak Touring Company in 1999 with a passion for kayaking
and coastal ecology. My interest in kayaking was born at Project U.S.E., an
experiential outdoor education organization in New Jersey. I discovered
kayaking here on The Outer Banks through a five day tour we set up for
adjudicated youth. Overwhelmed by the beauty of the Outer Banks as a
kayaking destination I moved here a year later to pursue my career as a
kayak guide.

Through the years we have gained the reputation as the Outer Banks' premier
kayak touring company. We achieved this status through our commitment to
service, ecological education and by offering the most diverse selection
of tours on the Outer Banks.

I'm partnered with North Beach Outfitters in Duck, North Carolina. Our
waterfront shop is your place to shop for a new kayak or book your customized
tour. Give us a call or better yet, come on in and see what we are all about.

Hope to see you on the water soon!

Joe O'Grady
