Last year, I interviewed kayaking quarterback, Evan Moore, while paddling Brush Creek near Kernville, CA. I was impressed by the connections Evan made between navigating whitewater rapids and taking the leading role on his football team. Now a high school freshman, Evan continues to take his quarterbacking pursuits to new levels as shown in this highlight video from the 2010 season. If you watch this video from the perspective of a paddler, you’ll definitely relate to Evan’s style of quick decision-making, reading “obstacles” and humble leadership:

Opportunities to connect paddlesports to the broader world around us are everywhere. Not a bad thing when one of those places is center stage of America’s favorite game. Keep up the good work, Evan!
