If you are also a novice boater, or if you are just thinking about what it would take to get started in the sport, my goal is to make it easier for you by sharing what I've been through. I hope that you can learn from what I've learned first hand. It should be a fun adventure and I am looking forward to sharing it all with you.
First, let me tell you a little bit about my background. I am a college student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I grew up on the water. I have been water skiing, kneeboarding, and wakeboarding since a young age, and I worked as a lifeguard for several summers. I also row for the UNC Men's Crew. So I guess kayaking just seemed like a natural step for me because I absolutely love spending time on the water, and I enjoy thrills and a good challenge. Thus far, I have had an excellent time and am really looking forward to growing my skills as a paddler over the coming years.
If you're reading this, stay tuned. I'll be posting some articles about equipment, NC rivers, the Carolina Canoe Club, instructional videos, learning to roll, and recaps of my first river runs shortly. By the time the warm weather returns, I'm sure we'll all be ready to get back out on the river!
