Does the name Paul Kuthe remind you of anything Jon? Paul was 12 when he took the Forest Park pool kayaking class with his dad my brother Bob, Steve Landrum, Marty White and myself!
I think the answer will be a resounding YES! 🙂 We don’t have a kids class for the MWA Clinic for nothing you know! We gotta teach our kids to be better paddlers than their ‘rents! 😉
