Ben & Garth

Ben Lawry came to Redding this week for a visit, and we got to have some fun on the river while he was here.

Thursday night Ben gave the Penguin Paddlers Club a slide presentation on the incredible “Dusi” race in South Africa and enthralled everyone with sights we have never seen before.

Friday morning Ben came out to our Morning Up-River paddle and showed everyone his power and grace. We all had a great time and enjoyed watching Ben Back-Surf and put the little Capella through it’s paces.

Garth has found another new friend and it was refreshing to talk about our sport, industry, design and future with a like-minded paddler.

Below are some photos for everyone to enjoy and we hope to see you on the water!

P.S. Hey Ben, it’s 90 degrees and sunny today!
