Kobi
Although I spend most of my adult life in hospitals as a doctor, I have never been far from the water and from the sea and the life hidden within. A few years ago I climbed into a sea kayak and the rest is history -- kayaks have become an integral part of my life. I have kayaked in various part of the world, including Greenland, Alaska, Wales, Greece, and Israel, and I have been fortunate enough to learn about paddling from some of the best paddlers in the world.
As a member of the Terra Santa team I try to pass on my knowledge and passion for kayaking, and I love every moment of it. For this, I thank the people of the Arctic for the invention of the kayak.

Hanan
I’ve been involved in sports all my life. Some of the highlights include being Israel’s boxing champion for ten years and coaching Israel’s Paraolympics team. Since 1985 I’ve competed and coached practical shooting, and for the last few years I have placed in Israel’s top three in this sport. Six years ago my son and I started sea kayaking with Terra Santa, and it has changed our lives forever. Today I’m an instructor for Terra Santa and try to contribute from my rich experience to the members of the club.
Michael
I first heard about the world of sea kayaking from magazine articles where I read about the adventures of Terra Santa team members. After participating in a kayak trip in Maine, I decided to join the club in 2007, and after an hour on the water became an addict. Now I enjoy passing on my passion for sea kayaking to others.
Yonatan
I began paddling the whitewater rivers of England as a child before progressing to the Scottish Highland torrents and finally being introduced to the warm Mediterranean waters, where I have concentrated more on sea and surf kayaking. I enjoy a wide range of outdoor sports in general and have many years’ experience with sea conditions as a professional skipper and volunteer lifeboat coxswain, as well as instructing in all these fields.
