No children, but I have taught and encouraged many a younger and older person WW canoeing

I'm on that list. Wendy took me under her wing about a year and a half ago (Summer 2008) and whipped me into shape. I'm 33 and so grateful.

I'm 36 and the tellico at alf 2010 was my first ever time in a boat. This stuff seems pretty easy.

Actually I started when I was 6 so I'm lookin at about 30 years worth so far, and still learnin new stuff all the time.

I'm 44 and have been paddling a mix of crafts since going to summer camp at the age or 4 turning 6.

Just really started getting into the OC1 world a few years ago... and am now paddling the best whitewater of my life.
