Jeff Fabiszewski has a passion for kayaking that began when he moved
to Clearwater, FL. Gone were the backpacking and mountainous hiking
trails that he grew up with as a Boy Scout in Pittsburgh, Pa. Many of the
nature trails that led to unique destinations in Florida were under water.
The discovery of the kayak during his Wood Badge Training and his
memory of canoeing with his Dad began Jeff on a meandering trail up
the creeks, streams, rivers, and out to tranquil islands within Florida.
Upon entering a BA program at Eckerd College Jeff's curiosity of the
history of kayaking flourished. He majored in history with a focus
towards indigenous studies; moreover, Jeff minored in anthropology
and American studies while a student at Eckerd College to satisfy his
craving of knowledge. After graduation, Jeff Fabiszewski acquired the
Stillwater nickname when friends learned that he plans to pursue a PhD
in Florida History.
Jeff's quest of knowledge and its practical application is evident in
everything that he does. He has an innate ability to inspire a relaxing
enthusiasm for kayaking that stays with his students. He is the lead
instructor and guide at Osprey Bay Outdoors in Clearwater. Jeff's
passion makes him a well-known guide, educator, and lead instructor in
the Clearwater, Florida area.

Jeffrey brings forth confidence in his students to improve their skills and
discover their own relaxed fluid movement on the water. As an ACA
certified Basic Coastal Kayak Instructor of Strokes and Rescues, a
member of the BCU and of Qajaq USA, and holder of the Traditional
Qajaq Skills Endorsement, it becomes clear to why he is able to
enhance the paddling skills of his students.
Frequently you may find him on those liquid meandering trails using
4,000-year-old paddle technology. A product of his primal love for
traditional Greenland Qajaq paddling. Tuktu Paddles designs Jeff's
hand carved wood paddles. One of his paddles looks like a two-by-four
stick of wood, where as the other paddle is of an Alaskan Tlingit style. It
is a single blade paddle with a raven painted on it.
Presently Dunkin Lewis Inc. sponsors Jeff as a Prostaff Member
representing Necky Kayaks for Johnson Outdoors Paddlesports. Jeff
also trains the Johnson Outdoors Florida Prostaff team. He works with
the team monthly on improving their paddling techniques. Jeff's
knowledge and his natural enthusiasm earned him the teaching
opportunity at the Sol y Luna Kayak Fishing School. Sol y Luna is the
first and only "On-the-Water" kayak fishing school of it's kind in the
country. He also freelances as a writer, proudly sponsored by Tuktu
