C&K Heroes // The Most Inspirational Paddlers Alive

They go first, fastest, and farthest. They are innovators, athletes and proselytizers —poets who give voice to our passion, and warriors who defend the places we hold dear. They are canoeists, sea kayakers, rafters and hardshell huckers, and they all have just one thing in common: Every one is a paddler, now and forever. This is our salute to the heroes. They light the way.
