Boats I paddle: Pyranha Jed, Pyranha Ammo, New Wave Maestro
Favorite Runs: Ottawa River, Black River, Upper Gauley
Some crazy chick who learned to paddle on the Ottawa River.
I "woot" at the rafts,
I bump into kayaks in the eddies,
I run rapids upside down,
I learned to handroll so I could ride my kayak behind the waterski boat at the cottage,
I invent crazy moves that can only be done by me (death spiral).
I try my moves out of my kayak,
I am NOT 17 years old,
I will try absolutely any run/wave/hole within reason,
Every move I pull on a wave/hole is purely accidental but still looks cool!

Basically, I used to be a cyclist. I rode my bike across Canada, from west coast to east, through the Rocky Mountains. I injured my knee, about to undergo my second knee surgery, and was introduced to WW kayaking last year. I LOVE it, and can't get enough. It's the only thing that has kept me sane since I can't bike or run or skydive anymore.
