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.

Food Bank Relay, Kayak Polo and SUP - Huge Success

The Food Bank Relay, Kayak Polo and SUP Demo Day were proof that here in Washington, "We don't change our plans, we just change our clothes!"

It was dumping rain, yet paddlers came bearing good spirits and huge grins! Any day on the water is a good day. And today, we were an expo of all sorts of ways to have some watery fun!

In the end, the activies in total raised 500 pounds of food and nearly $2000 for the local food bank!
