Wild Adventurer of the Month
Every month, Wilderness Supply features one of our customers who's had a wild adventure, and passes on some free gear to help them through their next undertaking. With such an early spring, for May we asked you how long you've been paddling this year. Michelle from Calabogie, Ontario was our earliest entry, with March 24th!
"I knew they would think I was crazy..."
Tim's Tip of the Month:
"Next time you are out paddling trying locking your arms with a slight bend and just paddling with your core. This will not only strengthen your core, but also work on torso rotation"
