A LOOK BACK ON 2009 SOME “BEST OF”

It’s great and scary how time flies. As I was going through the below pictures it felt like weeks ago that I was running the rivers. I just hope that it will feel like weeks until they are running again. 2009 was an awesome year for kayaking. We saw world records from the best kayakers in the world and all kinds of new limits being reached whether personally or from paddling’s greats. I feel very lucky to be able to live a lifestyle that allows me to kayak. I look forward to meeting more people on the rivers and seeing what lies around that next bend.

Enjoy a look through some of my favorite pictures from the 2009 season. Also, I have linked to some of my favorite Vids too.
