2015 Competition Schedule

It’s going to be a busy 2015. Last year was such an amazing year with solid performances on both whitewater and in the surfski. I also got to travel to some cool places and meet some incredible individuals too. 2015 will see me expanding my horizons a little by adding the two major east coast surfski races to the schedule and adding a couple of international events as well. I can’t wait to reconnect with so many paddling friends around the World and making new ones.
