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!
Captain Penguin, Garth Schmeck
P.S. Hey Ben, it’s 90 degrees and sunny today!
