Kayaking Rocks
Types of boats you paddle (eg. kayak, raft, C-1, squirt, etc.): I'm currently paddling a Jackson Kayak Fun and have paddled a Dagger Blast, Dagger Dynamo, Wave Sport EZ, Liquid Logic Skip and Riot Turbo 47
First Season (year): 1999
Favorite Class: IV
Favorite Runs: Lower Gauley(WV) , Cherry(WV), Obed(TN), Ocoee(TN) Upper and Lower
I have been paddling since 1999 mostly with my dad (aka gargoyle). I love to kayak. There is nothing better than spending a day on the river going over huge waves. Currently I'm not an exceptional play boater but I'm working on it.(I'm getting close to cartwheeling) Besides for kayaking I am a freshman at the University of Louisville and enjoy hanging out with my friends.
