Using my paddles in Nepal

Since April this year, I am now being sponsored by Robson Paddles. They have always been my paddle of choice and I have always competed using a Robson. Here are a few pictures of myself and Tusc (who is sponsored by Lightning) paddling around Nepal.

Our camp on the Sun Kosi river next to the Dudh Kosi confluence. This guy was very impressed with our paddles!

Very cool baba we got chatting to on the Sun Kosi
