Kayak Profile

Paddling Style

White water, and sea kayaking

Paddling Bio

I started seriously kayaking in summer of 2007 and bought an Impex Force Category 4 as my first real boat that fall. I started white water kayaking in the summer of 2008 and now have a Jackson Classic Fun. I now enjoy white water, flat water, ocean surfing and sea kayaking and look forward to getting more into rafting. I tend to get out on the water several times a week during the height of the kayaking season. I have even paddles with the Ice Pirates at the height of winter. I am hoping to do a three month expedition trip in the following year.
