First run ever with Deon Canyon aka "Iggy" on an OC2. Took a bit to get used to each other (me being the weak link in the chain). I knew out of the gate this was not going to be "casual" run...It was ON! Had a couple of OC2's that started with us and it was a friendly talk some trash and let's see who has what on the beach. Loved every minute of it except the minutes that I didn't...LOL. Soooo much to learn. Stroke is still to way too stiff (injuries don't help), not enough reach, breathing, wave reading, better physical fitness and on & on...Super glad I could run this with an experience paddler and glean some new perspective.
