Well so far I seem to be the odd man out.

My name is Marc. I've been paddling canoes (open boats with a single blade) for many years. I've done serious tripping, whitewater, and my specialty, freestyle. I'm an ACA level five flatwater instructor. I build custom paddles and cedar strip canoes under the business name, Dogpaddle Canoe Works. Dogpaddle Canoe Works I also repair canoes and kayaks. This spring I will be running two canoe classes for the local ADK chapter. Later this month I'll be running a Freestyle Symposium in Florida. I hope to see you all out on the water.

Thank you very much for posting Marc. I grew up in a MadRiver canoe so I know exactly where you are coming from. I checked out your website and your work looks amazing, hopefully I will be able to check it out in person. Thank you again for joining and please help spread the word about this forum.

Welcome Marc!
