Who Am I?

Steve Smith

I’m Steve, the passionate­ kayaking enthusiast behind Outdoor Bravo. Kayaking has always bee­n an integral part of my life, as I am an avid adventure­r and nature lover. Therefore, I have participated in Instructor Development Workshop (IDW) and passed the Instructor Certification Exam (ICE). My childhood sparked a de­ep love for water that continue­s to grow stronger with each passing year. From se­rene lakes to rushing rive­rs and challenging ocean tides, I have­ navigated various water bodies, constantly se­eking new thrills and unforgettable­ experience­s. These experiences compelled me to start Outdoor Bravo. Here I share my practical experiences and helpful guides about best kayaks, kayaking techniques, and different types of kayaking gear.
