Recapturing some of my favourite moments this year, travel with me to Mexico, West Virginia and the Ottawa Valley for some water falling, free styling, and booferoni sandwiches! In reflecting, this was a year full of creeking and boofs and progression in the vertical category. Big thanks to friends and family for supporting and encouraging my urge for adventure and exploration! Enjoy the waterfalls, steep rapids, and occasional surprises in this edit!
This past season also marked a significant partnership with some of the highest quality, handmade Canadian shred sticks available as I joined forces with Echo Paddles to design, test and build their new kayak paddles. Borrowing from over 20 years of canoe paddle building experience, we spent months building, testing and tweaking these blades to deliver strong, lightweight, responsive and beautiful wood-composite paddles, and we're super stoked on how things turned out with paddles in stock for the 2019 season. To learn more about these handmade beauties and how to get one in your hands, drop me a line at [email protected] and don't forget to visit our website at echopaddles.com. We'd love to get one in your hands and see what you think, with a wide variety of demos available in both bent and straight shafts to satisfy your specific paddling needs.
Another big thanks to my sponsors Paddler Co-op - a not-for-profit whitewater school and community, and Echo Paddles for helping to get to the events and rivers, and paddle some serious water with confidence. If you'd like an enthusiastic, energetic and adventurous individual to represent your product or brand in Eastern Canada and abroad, I'd love to open a discussion as to how we can work together to promote something good.
Enjoy the show!
