What happens thou when the ‘fat paddler’ becomes ‘cut paddler’ or even ‘hot paddler’ or skinny
May 3rd, 2009 on 11:32 am
I’ll deal with that when it happens – at 130 kgs I got a long way to go before I need to worry too much

The logo is going on my car and yak. You’ll get a shout-out in NorCal.

Thanks Shazz. Which reminds me, I need to get some printed and sent to you after such a STELLA piece of design work on the logo. Thanks again!!

What do I need to do to get a couple for the paddling ride and boats?

Mate, they’re all great! I’ve got car/yak stickers in either black or white, 20cm wide. Choose a colour (I’d suggest white if you have a dark boat, black for a light boat) and I’ll send you one.

PM me with your email and I’ll send you the snailmail address
Thanks!

I would be interested in doing some sponsorship deal for a banner on the site and on your new boat.
Lets try and work something out.

Congratulations and much success! I was just at the beach with my friend Marsh and saw your Buddah sticker on his car. I asked, he explained and I rushed home to check out your site. Paddling has been my way to fitness as well. My first boat was a nine foot rec kayak, Dagger Zydeco. Paddled that for a year and dropped 20 pounds and achieved a better heart for the work. This March I purchase a Think (brand) Fit (model). It’s a 17 foot fitness/racing yak that is in the water at least 3 times a week, usually more. We have a weekly racing series here on Thursdays and I paddle that regularly as well as the normal practice with our youth club. There have been other longer competitions also. It’s a fabulous way to aguire fittnes. To your health!

Gday John! Sounds great, where do you paddle? Would you like a car or yak sticker? I think you deserve one.

Thank You Sean. I’d like a car sticker please. Black if you have them. I’ll put it on my yak. Narrow boat. Thanks and good luck.
