About KayakDIY
From Nurse to Full-Time Creator
Justin Lammers, founder of KayakDIY, turned his love for paddlesports into a thriving career. What began as an “aquatic adventure” YouTube channel has grown into a full-time platform that inspires thousands of outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
While working full-time as a nurse, Justin began uploading videos of kayaking, fishing, diving, and boat building. Over time, his creative and hands-on tutorials attracted a loyal audience and the attention of leading outdoor and marine companies.
His philosophy comes from advice his father once gave him:
“Do what you love so that you never work a day in your life.”
