Whitewater

My name is Graham Bell, I am 14 years old and I love to paddle.  I have been kayaking since I was about six years old.  I got into the sport by watching my older brother at his races and workouts.  I got my first official slalom boat in March 08.  It is a red, silver, and blue Galasport Toro.  The Toro is a great boat with excellent turning and great forward speed for such a short boat.  This is my first year in the junior slalom class ages 15-18.  I do more than paddle though.  I like to play the guitar.  I enjoy playing blues and classic rock.  Traveling is also something I love to do.  Paddling gives me opportunities to travel.  I am trying to better myself through paddling physically and mentally.
