Marcus Schöttler - German (EPP) 4 Coastal instructor

Marcus Schöttler is a dedicated sea kayaker and certified German EPP Level 4 Coastal paddler, actively developing his coaching credentials with a German kayak trainer license currently in progress.

To introduce myself, 47years old I'm seakayaking since 2022 mostly german northsea-area, but also Baltic Sea, Denmark and Sweden ( Vacations).

possessor of german EPP 4 Coastal ( european paddle pass red paddle) and actually working on my german trainer Licence for Kayak ( will be completed around end of the year latest).

I'm loving longer day and multiday trips (30-75km per day) and providing training in our local club.

Since starting his sea kayaking journey in 2022, Marcus has focused on building strong technical skills in dynamic coastal environments. His primary paddling grounds are the German North Sea, where conditions demand control, awareness, and consistency. In addition, he regularly explores the Baltic Sea and Scandinavian waters, including Denmark and Sweden.

Marcus is particularly drawn to long-distance and multi-day expeditions, typically covering between 30 and 75 kilometers per day. These journeys reflect his mindset: efficient movement, endurance, and a strong connection with the environment.

Extraordinary on the water

Just phenomenal — absolutely my favourite paddle I've ever used. At the risk of sounding a bit corny, it's an absolute joy to use. It's incredibly lightweight and very precise in the water; it cuts incredibly cleanly and is ideal for very long days. They've truly changed my relationship with the water.

Competing at the highest level of Greenland Rolling demands a paddle that is precise, light and utterly reliable. The Ikigai is my trusted companion — it delivers the performance and feel I need to compete for a World Championship title. There is simply no other paddle I'd choose.
