What's your story?

I started guiding rafts and kayaking the Rivers of southern Chile which helped immensely to improve my skills and knowledge.I am a member of the Chilean Canoe Slalom and National Rafting teams. I have also been working with the National Governing Bodies to develop Canoe Slalom in Chile.This has given me many opportunities to travel, train and compete not only in South America but also across Europe. There is something special about travelling to a new destination with your kayak, meeting up with friends and making new ones along the way.
