My name is Jim Michaud from Connecticut, age 61. I've been paddling OC"-1"s and C"-1"s since 1968. My preferred craft is the OC"-1" which I paddle mostly on class IV and V rivers.

I can't find any other open boaters in Southern New England who paddle class IV-V rivers on a regular basis so all of my paddling friends are deck boaters. Since I run all the rivers that the kayakers do they've dubbed me an "Honorary Kayaker".
