Our team

Gina Miller: Owner and operator of Kayak Fundy | FreshAir Adventure, Gina grew up in Atlantic Canada, then headed off to taste-test universities, collecting degrees she rarely uses, before moving to Hong Kong, China, in 2000. For two decades, Gina lived in Hong Kong, (where she worked as a business journalist, a sport-events coordinator, and a paddle coach). In 2011 she joined Kayak Fundy | FreshAir Adventure and returned to the Bay of Fundy each summer. In 2018 she returned to Canada full time and reacquainted herself with Canadian winter (brrrrr – that water is cold!). After many years of racing in Asia, Gina still loves to paddle fast on waves. She operates the surfski and wave-riding tours and training with Kayak Fundy | FreshAir Adventure. If you are interested in a new boat and a new adventure, she is the woman to call.

Paul Davis: Co-operator of Kayak Fundy | FreshAir Adventure, Paul is originally from the UK. Amazingly prescient, Paul foresaw Brexit as early as 1997, and to avoid the gloom, he moved to Hong Kong to earn first-hand experience of the dismantling of Britain’s global footprint. Paul took up Dragon Boat and Outrigger Canoe race paddling in Hong Kong and has brought his love for the technical side of paddling with him to Canada. Paul is married to Gina, and he doesn’t regret it one little bit.

Niko & Sula flew in from Hong Kong in 2018 and were Kayak Fundy | FreshAir Adventure’s official “greeters.” Sadly, they are no longer with us, but we cannot bring ourselves to remove the photos! Today Finnegan the Fiery is our newest wonder-mutt. He is a one-year old Red Setter which means he is full of energy. He is very affectionate but does not know his own strength so tries to play too rough with children. Our youngest dog Lila, is a Golden Retriever which means that if you throw something for her, she will never, ever, leave you alone.

Guides emeritus (sometimes they pop back in!)

Amanda Harrington, our emeritus uber-guide, grew up in Saint John, New Brunswick, a stone’s throw away from the Bay of Fundy. Amanda has a degree in Recreation Sports from the University of New Brunswick and is also a graduate of the Saint Andrew’s Adventure Leadership program.
Besides being an avid white water and sea kayaker, Amanda finds time for wild hiking expeditions, long wilderness-seeking road trips, and rock climbing. She is also a Support-Dog trainer in training! Her own support dog, Seaka, is on site to alert Amanda to any chemical smells in the environment, because Amanda is allergic to colognes, aerosols, and other chemical smells.

Amanda has spent two winters leading expeditions on and off the water in Australia and New Zealand. She has an infectious laugh and tells terrible jokes – really terrible jokes. As a result, we only let her lead tours when our pun tolerance is high.

Isaac Miller returns to help guide at Kayak Fundy | FreshAir Adventure from time to time because life without sea kayaking is no life at all. (He is also obligated to appear because he’s family and we insist on seeing his handsome face a few times each summer.) Isaac has worked with Kayak Fundy since he was 15, and has paddled since he was old enough to be plunked into a boat and have his teeny fingers wrapped around a paddle. A keen white-water enthusiast and annoyingly fit, Isaac drops by often enough to make the rest of us feel wimpy. We like him anyway.
