Welcome to my journal, documenting my life on the water. Hopefully you’ll find something useful or interesting here, whether you are a local kayaker or a visitor from overseas, new to the sport or an old hand. If you are expecting extreme paddling missions in exotic locations, my adventures are a little more low key. Remember adventures are an important part of life, so pursue your own adventures, big or small and live life to the fullest.
News and Upcoming Highlights
Spring is here and the Canterbury Whitewater Club’s season is already underway. This years beginners courses are on the calendar and may still have vacant spots, but definitely get in quick as these tend to fill up quickly. If you are interested in learning to kayak, book yourself a spot here. I’m certainly looking forward to getting out more, so stay safe & I’ll see you on the river.
