Many thanks are extended to the photographers who graciously granted permission to include their works. Their stunning photographs capture the excitement of our sport and bring words to life with their close-ups of the paddling action from across the country. Thank you to William Ng, Gabe Toth, Laurie Wierzbicki, Fay Wu, Edward Lumb, Albert McDonald, Barry Wojciechowski, VFK, Heather Maclaren, John Valentini, Terry Hewitson, Brent Lessard, Chris Edwards, Normand Beaulieu, Ben Lee, Derek Griffiths, Steven Ercolani, and, particularly, Jan Oakley and Jens Ronneberger. Our gratitude to Kim Ercolani and Suzanne McKenzie for being the fitness and paddling models.

The testimonials that we received were over–whelmingly heartfelt and merit a book of their own.

We could only include a few and thank everyone who took the time to send us their thoughts on what the sport means to them.
