Lee Richardson is an international sea kayak guide, instructor, and coach from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. With a deep passion for ocean adventure, Lee spends much of his year traveling the world, teaching sea kayaking programs and sharing his love for the water with paddlers of all levels.
An entrepreneur at heart, Lee founded a company dedicated to helping kids connect with nature through outdoor education. The company also operates a sea kayak store in Victoria, serving as a community hub for paddlers and ocean enthusiasts.
When he’s not guiding or coaching, you’ll likely find Lee off the grid — exploring the woods with his family, foraging, or casting a line for salmon, halibut, or anything else that bites. He’s also an avid hiker and has a particular passion for sea kayak surfing, where adventure and skill meet the power of the waves.
Originally from Ontario, Lee grew up in French immersion and speaks both English and French.
