Dreams Abroad has always featured inspiring individuals and Eddyline Kayaks’ president, Scott Holley is no exception. While it has proved impossible to catch up with people in person, it was great to touch base with Scott through the medium of his video. Watching it makes for instructive viewing. As we struggle to cope with climate change, Scott is manufacturing one of the most ecological forms of transport imaginable: the humble kayak.
A Harvard Business School graduate, Scott is a master at keeping a cool head during a crisis. So when the pandemic hit, he decided to utilize the parts on the floor of the Eddyline workroom to create a much needed face shield. This was such a positive reaction to a devastating development. He’s a great Scott indeed.
Before COVID-19 hit hard, when we wanted to get away from it all, we jumped on a plane. But that luxury and/or easy option hasn’t been available to us as short, medium, and long term travel has been put on hold. Aviation’s loss is watercraft’s gain, with people swapping the vantage point of a window seat for that of a kayak.
Introducing Scott Holley
If we can’t explore foreign shores, we can look closer to home for discovery channels. A kayak is also a responsible choice as a mode of transport. Not only is it a great green option, but it also offers a perfect, protective bubble from the water below.
Nothing stops Scott. Where others see barriers, he perceives opportunities. Life is a challenge that he relishes, with his current goal making the gulf between you and the Great Outdoors a smaller one.
Watching Scott talk about Eddyline Kayaks gives us an opportunity to hear the voice of quiet confidence. Scott doesn’t need to shout to get his message across. He knows that his passion for getting out and about on the water is one that is becoming increasingly popular as we start to reconnect with nature.

Isn’t kayaking exciting, Kita? Yes, Scott, is very much an expert in his field. Thanks for commenting.
I adore this so much! The idea of exploring our own areas is one that I’ve always been a big fan of.
Me too, Colleen. I have always championed launching a voyage of discovery close to home.

A good kayak is a nice way to unwind and get away from the grind. This company seems to have a lot of experience!
Yes, Leanne, you can easily find peace in a kayak.
COVID has forced people to look for entertainment closet to home. And often, there is surprisingly much to be discovered, right in your own area!
So true, Bryan. The devastating COVID-19 has forced us to reconnect with nature.
This is awesome! I really enjoyed kayaking when on vacation in the Poconos. Exploring nature has been the best thing!
I had never heard of the Poconos before. They sound incredible. Thanks for the tip.
He is right about the fact that life is a challange, but I agree with him – if you cant go abroad, explore your local surroundings 🙂
I love to kayak when at the beach. And yes, I do agree that it’s a green mode of transportation. I also like his view when it comes to exploring local surroundings. That’s also my motto — travel doesn’t have to be far.
I have not tried kayaking yet but it sure looks like fun. I can only imagine how nice it would be to kayak on a nice, serene lake.
