The Freestyle World Championship begins, FINALLY!!!!
After training hard for the last several weeks and the added stress that comes with it, I am SO ready to compete, SO ready to see where I stand with the rest of the world. Luckily I have had some good friends and fellow Pyranha paddlers to keep me company in the eddies.

This year has been good for Team Pyranha, we have more boats than ever at Worlds. This is partly due to Mr. and Ms. Jed, and of course all of us getting so much better over the last year or two. Team hopefuls include Rowan Stuart, Bren Orton, Brandon Hepburn, and myself. Rowan and Brandon are on the junior team and they are both at the top of their game right now, Rowan is killing it, hitting mcnasties and Phonics’ that most the other Jr. women can only dream about. Brandon has the hole dialed in and has a good chance to podium. Bren and myself are in some of the toughest competition around, as there are more possible World champs in the mens heat than any other.

Pyranha has blessed us with some amazing carbon fiber Jeds that are really making an impact. We are flying higher and swinging the boat around at break-neck speeds, these boats are lighter, faster, stronger, and better looking than any of the competition. Pyranha is the only company to support its athletes this well and we couldn’t be happier. Its a shame so many people buy into the hype of the “other company” , but as Pyranha begins to take over the podium people will surely notice.

There are lots of other people competing in the Jed, many of them from other countries and maybe not on the “team”. However if you are in a Pyranha boat you are like family and we wish every family member the best of luck to go out and crush it this week.
As the competition heats up we will keep the world posted on the happenings, and for now GO TEAM PYRANHA!!!!!!!
