Show Notes

In this episode, I take a trip down memory lane and share the story of how I was first introduced to the world of paddling. From my earliest memories of paddling in Pawarenga as a child to the fateful day when I first took my first stroke with Ron Tamati, I recount the begging of the lifelong journey.

I discuss the impact that my mentors and coaches had on my development as a paddler, and how they helped shape my passion for the sport.

Through my personal experiences, I hope to inspire others who are just starting their own paddling journey, and offer practical tips for overcoming the hurdles that come with learning a new skill. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or just starting out, this episode offers valuable insights and a heartfelt story of the joys and challenges of paddling.
