Experience 20+ years of canoeing |
| Achievements: Despite having paddled some of the most demanding rivers anywhere from a tender age, making appearances in numerous paddling films including projects that have taken me to the very brink of what can be done in a sea kayak for National Geographic, to gracing the pages of the NY Times in defense of free flowing rivers; I would still have to say that my biggest achievement has been carving out a viable living in this crazy business that allows me to spread the joys of paddling to people from all walks of life, creating positive change for both the individuals participating in the sport and the waterways we all love Photo:©Daniel Fox site |
| Biggest Adventure to Date: This summer, the boys and I packed up our long boats expedition style and walked onto a ferry heading north. We traveled 2000 miles north into Canada to explore the Butze Tidal Rapids in its full glory during the largest tidal exchanges of the year. The Spring Equinox gave us long days and HUGE tides. “The Butze"(but-zee) is not one wave but many separate features including big whirl-pools, exploding pour-over’s, and breaking waves that form and then disappear as 30+ feet of tide water squeezes back and forth every six hours through narrow channels between the densely packed cedar covered islands laced across Fenn Passage near Prince Rupert. People have been paddling here for years, but none of the local boaters had ever seen sea kayaks surfing the amazing waves created by this special place. |
