Old School: Old’s Cool
Recently i’ve been getting more attention at the put-in’s and take-out’s of my local play runs.

A memory for my youth.
Stories and articles about kayaking drops can fall short of getting to the feelings and depth of emotion. The calculated risk, the dynamic assessments we make, these cannot be from the heart.
