member who is keen to improve her paddling skills to improve her multi
sport racing. Christie is also a top mountain biker and is a member of
the “Road to London” AIS Talent ID Squad. “My paddling has gone ahead in leaps and bounds since I started padding with Dean and Yanda. Not only have I learnt how to paddle with the correct technique but the sessions have greatly assisted in improving my overall fitness for adventure racing.” |  |
 | Karl Treacher "I had never paddled anything before December 2004. I won a ski in a raffle and started training with Dean in early 2005. In the last 2 years I have done Molokai Ski Race ( 3 times this May) and have competed in over 90 local races and 8 international events. With the help of Dean and Yanda, i finished 10th in the open category of the Men's Health Ocean Racing Series in 3 of the 5 races this year and top 20 in the 06 Molokai World Champs. The combination of Dean's ocean skills and Yanda's technical knowledge has allowed me to fast track my racing beyond all expectations, even my own. Simply amazing. Thank you." |
