Hi Friends of Thetis and the Sea 

I am hoping you’re having a great Summer and enjoying the epic weather

My Name is David.  I am a Professional Waterman And Member of the Canadian National Paddle board Team.   

Recently I have been training on my traditional Prone Paddleboard off the shores of Thetis.
Prone paddle board discipline requires the use of hand paddling on your knees, different than Sup ( standup) where a paddle is used.

I just wanted to take a sec and reach out and state that on numerous occasions this week, while training I have been approached by people on the shore, inquiring if I’m in distress or in need of an extra paddle.

Thank you very much for checking in on me everyone.

If you see me out paddling with my hands on my orange paddleboard I’m doing OK out there.

In gratitude, 

David
