Aside from being the two time defending Midwestern Freestyle champion and hucking damn near anything, I recently discovered "Utah's" words which had snuck in my journal sometime this past spring season. Fitting for the first post, he brings you, "Why We Paddle."
Why We Paddle
Great friends, sweet boating, and the sky is only a start and never the limit! We boat, for the love of it. The hell of it. The thrill, fun, and all because it's what we do and what defines us. Pulling up to a drop, scouting and making the decision to fire it up, fully committed to everything it requires and dealing with the consequences of our action.
To make that decision and peel out of that eddy and over the lip into full commitment......the reward in the end is why I kayak. The places you go, THE FRIENDS YOU MAKE, and the memories that will last forever!!!!! Boof or DIE!
