My passion for the sea runs deep and you will always find me close to the water.

My Sea Kayaking Philosophy

Jon Hynes - Sea Kayaking CV

My Sea Kayaking Philosophy

Over the years my values have evolved. 

I believe in:

  • Treating others and nature with kindness and empathy. 
  • Running high quality educational experiences for Sea Kayakers.
  • Creating a conversation and discourse to improve our sport and its practice.
  • Fostering strong safety standards for Sea Kayakers.
  • To support the development of Future Leaders in Sea Kayaking.

Harari's Four C's model - Modified for Sea Kayakers

This model was adapted from Yuval Noah Harari's book "21 Lessons for the 21st Century". I have used this to create an accessible model for Sea Kayakers worldwide to foster a healthy conversation about how we play our part in the climate crisis and limit our impact on the beautiful coastlines, islands and oceans which we explore. 

Critical Thinking
