Ep. #26: Ryan Milby - Founder of Llama Racks

from Dabbling In Paddleism Podcast

In this episode, Chris Thomas sits down with Ryan Milby out of Missouri, who is a self-proclaimed normal dude, Chief Hobby Officer, and founder of Llama Racks. We cover so much in this episode from yet again the welcoming nature of the paddling community, his journey getting into ultramarathon paddle racing as well as starting Llama Racks, jumping in head first into the MR340 and paddling through the night for the first time during the race, attention to detail in designing his racks, available options for all human powered boats, customizable options, the importance of not giving up and proceeding as the way opens, shipping options outside of the U.S., and breaking a boat completely in half in the Texas Water Safari. There’s so much more to this episode, but I’ll let you hear it from Ryan himself on this 26th episode of the Dabbling in Paddleism Podcast… Ryan’s Book Recommendations: -The Kid Who Climbed Everest, by Bear Grylls: https://a.co/d/jgvJILO How to find Ryan, Llama Racks, and Some Beach Outfitters: www.llamaracks.com www.llamaracks.com/some-beach-kayaks-liberty @llamaracks - Instagram @somebeachkayaksliberty - Instagram
