Name:
Chris Stafford
Age: 19
Birthday: January 18th
where did you grow up: North Georgia
Where do you live now: Asheville, NC
Favorite river: Bear Creek
Favorite play spot: Hell Hole
Boats I paddle: Vibe, Blunt
other sponsors: Extrasport, Plug It Nose plugs, Necky
Worst beating(in a kayak) ever had: It was a little
slide into a rolling 15 footer. I pitoned the right
wall, spun around backward, and did a back flip off
the waterfall. It was high water. So I threw cartwheels
in a Big Gun until I popped my skirt and made a swim
for it.
If you could paddle anywhere in the world, where would
it be next: California, that's where the whitewater
is.
Hobbies and interests other than paddling: I enjoy watching
the weather channel about 3-6 hours a day in hopes it
will rain.
A day in the life: What's a day of kayaking look like?
Play boating is a circle. You're on a continuous cycle
of surfing and paddling back up the eddy.
As for creek boating, it's a squigly down hill line.
You're going from top to bottom ducking and weaving
the whole way.
