Paddling With My Hero

I watched a couple, *cough* hundred *cough*, kayaking movies, edits or clips before I came to Keeners. This week I have already been able to paddle with four of my kayaking idols, Joel, Kalob, Stephen and Thomas. Before coming to Keeners, I never would have thought that I would get to paddle with the athletes in those videos and of that caliber. I look up to these guys when I go out on surf, try and think of what they would do. I feel so privileged to get influenced by such great and amazing athletes! I would love to syphon as much information from them in the next two weeks as I can because I may never get the chance to paddle with these athletes, the pioneers of modern day play boating, ever again. I’m going to make sure I am in prime condition to maximize time on the water to improve at the rate I currently am until the last day!

Thanks Joel, Kalob, Stephen and Thomas!
