Q. How did you start paddling and when? A. I started paddling when I was younger, but I only did a little bit and only learnt how to go forwards and backwards. But in September 2008 I joined Rock, Richmond Open Canoe + kayak (www.rockpaddlers.co.uk) and from then on I had caught the kayaking bug. (If you are new to kayaking JOIN A CLUB, it really helps) Q. What is your favourite section of river or play spot? A. I have only been paddling since September 2008 so I haven’t paddled many well known rivers or spots. But it is probably the Washburn. It’s absolutely brilliant. Q. How tall are you and how much do you weigh? A. I weigh 10 stone, 11 pounds and I am about 6’2”. Q. What other sports do you do? A. I used to play Football and hockey, but I quit them so I had time to go paddling… :) Q. Favourite food? A. Chocolate + Chips (Not at the same time…that would be disgusting) Q. What is your current boat? A. Pyranha S6 200 (Brilliant boat) Q. Word(s) of advice? A. -Join a club to get started -Try boats until you get the right one, don’t just buy one because your mates got it. (Pyranha has a wide selection of brilliant boats available) |
