I am 47. I started paddling in the mid to late 70's. First OC-2 (easy
ww), then OC"-1", then C"-1", and then back to OC"-1". I progressed to
stuff like the Upper Gauley and Lower Blackwater. I stopped paddling in
1986.
I re-entered the sport about 3.5 years ago in an OC"-1". Two years
ago I switched to K"-1". I paddle WW K"-1" but once in a while I can be
seen in a tandem canoe. During the Summer I like to paddle my Squirt boat.
