Question of the month (May):
Favorite piece of kayaking gear:
My favorite piece of kayaking gear are my slalom helmets. It's probably
because I spent so much time padding and customizing them. It's the
piece of gear that fits me perfectly. And, I also trust that you have a
special relationship with your helmet(s) because it is the piece of gear that
protects you and may save your life.
