Why H2O Paddles? H2O Paddles make a really nice, high end line of paddles
to accommodate the needs of any paddler from sea kayaking to extreme kayaking.
The folks at H20 Paddles are down to earth, open to new ideas and the thing I
love most about H20 Paddles... they are Canadian!!! through and through.

Rica, Nicaragua, Argentina, Chile, Austria, Slovenia, Germany, Taiwan, China,
Thailand, Australia, New Zealand
Favourite River/Wave: I have a few that stand out...
Rivers: The Ottawa, The Futaleufu (Chile), The Perth (NZ),
Woulai River (Taiwan), The Soca (Slovenia) and a pile more, so hard
to decide.
WAVES: Gladiator, Bussy, The Dries, Garb.
Biggest Paddling Adventures: Hmmmm tough one, had a few of these.
One that stands out would be the Magpie Fly In Expedition in Northern
Quebec with some of the top boaters in the world, simply amazing trip!
Another would be an expedition my brother
Chad and I did in Taiwan a few years back. There was a massive landslide that
blocked the river and our plans. We spent the night partying with a bunch of
locals drinking rice wine and chewing Binglung...good times!
