I appreciate it when a young lady goes above and beyond the norm and does exciting things like Morgan. A great student, and up and coming kayaker, you will see Morgan creating photo comic strips, contributing to www.worldkayak.com as an ambassador, and traveling and competing with Huge Experiences. I hope you will enjoy her creative talents and efforts as much as I do.

I am kind of a new kid in the kayaking scene. Okay, I’m really a new kid. I first learned what a loop was six months ago.

I attend New River Academy, which is a traveling kayaking high school based out of West Virginia. This year, I have traveled and kayaked in Chile and the American Southeast. Before 2008 I will have paddled in Canada and China as well.

I hail from Northern California, raised both in the city of Oakland and on the banks of the American, Cal Salmon, Klamath, and Trinity rivers by a rafting family. I could barely roll up in a wave train when I went to NRA. Since then I’ve become addicted. I like taking pictures, making comics, learning languages, and hanging out with river people around the world.

See you on the river!
