Ultra Marathon Paddling

Through years of adventuring and racing, Heather and Brandon have learned to celebrate their triumphs with a fist in the air, and to accept failure as a catalyst for learning. With a strong belief in the philosophy of paddling legend Verlen Kruger, “Trip to Race, Race to Trip!” the Nelson’s continually explore the relationship between paddling techniques, boat and gear design, race and expedition strategies, fitness, and sharing their stories with passionate paddlers everywhere.
