"My biggest thrill... was sharing this experience with my 8-year-old granddaughter, who thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this paddling experience - from realizing her capabilities, paddling in waves and playing games to meeting new friends and working together with other kid paddlers to transport boats and gear." "The best part about the symposium was being in a community of paddlers in a supportive atmosphere. I prefer solo paddling and getting away from the crowds but I was touched deeply by the positive energy of so many leave-no-trace, silent sports people." |
