My first race was the Muskoka River X almost 10 years ago. After this race I became intrigued by both marathon paddling and making composite canoe paddles. I have competed in many north American races including the General Clinton and Ausauble River Marathon and many smaller local Ontario, NY, and Michigan races. In 2018 I competed in La Ruta Maya in Belize. In 2015 I made my first composite paddle, and that was t he beginning of Ripple FX Paddles.
Paddle fast, have fun, learn some Cree words from Trina :)

From: Winnipeg, MB, Canada
I started paddling 10 years ago and became competitive 8 years ago. I've entered the Red River Challenge Solo Canoe 42km race twice, entered Pain in the Assiniboine tandem canoe once, and last summer I raced it solo. I raced in many local canoe races. Not only do I race in canoe marathons but I also compete in dragon boat races. I’m a dragon boat paddler and went to word championships in 2022 in Czech Republic. This will be my first Wilderness Canoe Marathon Race at this distance.
To finish at least top 10 in our category.
