What you love about paddle sport I just LOVE my sport and always have done! I love the journeying, multi -day expeditioning aspect most of all - the quiet places that it takes you to, stunning scenery, amazing wildlife encounters. I also love the 'movement of paddle sport', the cadence on a day when its all going well, smooth, effortless, easy...
