"Rich was born a water baby with a passion for messing about on the water. He has raced, explored, toured and completed many thousands of miles of paddling adventures by canoe, kayak and SUP. I can not think of many people better equipped to share a love of paddling and the best locations around the UK." - Sir Ranulph Fiennes
