Personal Interests:
First and foremost, I love being on the water, whether it is flat water or whitewater. Being outside is my passion and I love camping, skiing and adventures with my lady and our dogs.

Top 3 Favorite Products:
Pyranha Burn - If I could only have one boat it would be the Pyranha Burn because of how versatile it is. It is easy to roll and it's super comfortable for long days on the water.

Stohlquist Free RYDE Dry Top - The neck gasket on this top is very comfortable and I also like how thick the Velcro is around the waist.

Pelican Dry Cases - They are perfect for packing anything you don't want to get wet like your camera, car keys or cell phone. Don't go on a river trip without one!
San Marcos Store Latest News and Updates
6/23/2011 Do you ever wonder what it's like to use a high-end paddle or thinking about buying one but can't seem to take the next step? Rent one! All ACK stores now rent high-end paddles. It's a great way to get a feel for what it's like but be warned, you'll never want to go back to using your old paddle. Ask any ACK associate for details.
