Why I Love Kayaking:
Because it’s bad a**, affordable, takes me to some of the craziest places in the world and you hang out with a bunch of real G’s.
Kayaking Accomplishments:
Living until 21, kayaking a ton and loving every bit of it. I have won a race or two and ran this or that stout but honestly running the North Fork Payette at 2am on a full moon is about as simple as the times get.
The last time I swam ...:
through a gnarly siphon in to a cave on the Kokatahi River.
