PADDLER 58
Quickfire questions:
If you could paddle with anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be? It would probably be Kurt Cobain. I mean, I’ m not sure how into paddling he’ d be, but it’ d be fun.
If your kayak had a name, what would it be? While I do love every one of my kayaks, and I like to think that if I look after them, they’ ll look after me, IMO, naming them is a step too far!
If you could only paddle to one musical track’ s beat, what track would you choose? Hmm, that’ s a difficult one. There’ s so much to choose from. Right now, I’ m kind of feeling a bit of Bloc Party again. I reckon‘ Blue Light’ would get me into a good flow!
Favourite social media platform? Argh, I hate social media; I’ m so bad at using it! But I’ ll say Instagram because that’ s where I post the most! Give me a follow @ realgb
What is an ideal night out for you? It’ s probably a night in with friends … BBQ, music, a few drinks, maybe some games if we need to keep entertained— that kind of thing!
What one luxury item would you take with you on a desert island? I am very fond of my mocha pot at the moment … even on a desert island, I’ d need coffee to get moving!
Dropping into the chaos of number 3 on the Seven Sisters, Mexico
What would I find in your fridge right now? Annoyingly, probably that we’ re out of milk!
What would you prepare for us if we came to your house for dinner? If I were trying to impress you, it would definitely be fish-based, perfectly cooked, and with a crispy skin. If not, you’ re getting fajitas!
If you could be a superhero for one day, what superpower would you choose and why? I’ d be able to stop time …, and then I could sleep for as long as I like and not be late!
What is your favourite sports team? There’ s only one sports team … Manchester City!( A fine choice- Ed)
Who are your paddlesport buddies? That’ s a long list. One of the best things about kayaking is that you get buddies all over the world, and as long as you’ re still paddling, you’ re bound to keep bumping into them!
Any final shout-outs? Yep, big shoutout to the friends and companies that have supported me over the years: Peak PS, VE Paddles and Prijon Kayaks
