Ep. #15: David Thomas of Stellar Kayaks USA

In this episode, Chris Thomas sits down with David Thomas of Stellar Kayaks USA who is both co-owner and a design team member. Of note, this is not a sponsored episode, as I simply reached out to David to come on the show because I’m a fan of their boats and especially wanted to hear about his journey and the inspiration that comes behind their paddles and kayaks. We cover so much in this episode from Stellar’s commitment to environmental responsibility, wing paddle dynamics, innovation in kayaks and surf skis, listener supported questions, seemingly unlimited variables that go into boat designs for all paddlers, the need for race directors out there, races he directs and hosts, modular kayak offerings, paddling community support, and his thoughts about growth of the ultramarathon paddling sport. There’s so much more to this episode, but I’ll let you hear it from David himself in this 15th episode of the Dabbling in Paddleism Podcast… Website: https://stellarkayaksusa.com/ Social (IG): https://www.instagram.com/stellarkayaks?igsh=MXNzcTJhbHkxNTBsbQ==
