#110 - Canoecopia 2024 - Madison, WI

Today’s episode was recorded from the show floor at the annual Canoecopia show in Madison, Wisconsin. Billed as the world’s largest paddlesports expo, Canoecopia features more than 100,000 square feet of canoes, kayaks, kit, outfitters, everything you can imagine, plus more than 100 speakers on an incredible array of topics.  I am honored to be one of those speakers and it’s one of my favorite events. Thanks to Chris Hipgrave and the entire P&H Pyranha kayaks team for making space in their booth to record this episode. 

We’ve got a great lineup of guests for today’s episode.  We’ll hear from:

• Four time Olympian gold and bronze medalist Greg Barton sharing Olympic stories and what's new from Epic Kayaks
• Christy Kurtz from Paddle KC on what makes their club successful
• Chloe Machula from Rutabaga Paddlesports with an inside look into Canoecopia
• Bruce Furrer with Werner Paddles on the origins of Werner and where they are today
• David Bain with Pyranha Mouldings and we’ll hear about the new lightweight sea kayaks and the new Reactr from Pyranha
• Danny Mongno from NRS talking about the culture of the company and their newest addition to the PFD world
