I'm your host, Chris Thomas, and my goal is to inspire others and help to grow the sport of ultramarathon, endurance, and adventure paddling through storytelling and the celebration of athletes.
We'll talk about topics from ultramarathon racing to epic paddling adventures and everything in between.
Lots of deep conversations about life and love and life experiences and why doing... such a difficult event like this can make you a better person.
Why seeking out challenges in life is one of the core experiences of being a human being.
In this episode, I sit down again with David Miller, ultramarathon paddler and owner of Rowdy Raccoon Paddling and Racing Solutions.
We cover so much in this episode, from how to build a kayak, an intro into boat modifications and repair, working with carbon fiber, custom trailers, Rowdy Raccoon, balanced yokes, understern versus overstern rudders, his new invention, the ski dash, and party possum.
