A retired librarian turned rough-water enthusiast, Kathryn Lapolla has fully embraced her passion for sea kayaking—whether in dynamic surf or calm waters. Living in Savannah, GA, she has the perfect playground with Tybee Island’s ever-changing inlet waves.
An ACA L4 Instructor and BC Sea Leader, Kathryn loves helping students develop new skills, build confidence, and discover the incredible places this sport can take them. When the surf is quiet, she and her husband, Fran, share the beauty of the local salt marshes, barrier islands, and blackwater creeks through their business, Savannah Coastal Ecotours.
