Why
H2O Paddles? For me, most paddles are just paddles. I like it when they
look good. However, I found that the handgrips on H2O paddles were
really unique. They give me a superior feeling of control, even when
paddling with mittens or gloves.
Countries Paddled: USA, Canada, Uganda, Zambia
Favourite River/Wave: It changes just about every time I paddle.
Biggest
Paddling Adventure so far: There are a lot of them, and very few sound
exciting when described briefly. The one that's foremost in my mind
right now is when I towed a flooded boat through the Land of a Thousand
Holes on the Slave river.
Competition History (if applicable) or Achievements in Paddling: Meeting my fiancee was a big achievement.
