Thank you Sterling for building me such a high performance, resilient, and visually striking kayak. Without your design, technical knowledge, attention to detail, masterful craftsmanship, and passion for paddlesports, I would never have pushed myself to enjoy paddling the big wave... Logan Peloso

Every 6 hours, enough water to fill 300,000 olympic sized swimming pools passes through Sechelt Rapids at speeds up to 17 kts and creates a beautiful glassy wave and some nasty downstream consequences. I took a course with Skils to learn how to tame the power of the sea. Thanks to Costain LéonardMike Gill​ and my inspiring classmates for helping me find zen on the water.

An awesome day at Skook with some of the nicest paddlers I know! Though the wave wasn't huge, a little quality learning time goes a long way.. A day that started off with broken boats and Cape Mudge in full tidal race on the express ended up with a double rainbow and more than a few good surfs.

In love with my new Sterling Progression. Such a playful boat that responds to thoughts before they become muscle movements! :)

Chris King  Continuing to love the performance of the Progression from Sterling Kayaks.  Shannon's evolution of the butterfly roll. It took all of nine minutes.
Done in a wonderful Sterling Progression :)

Chris King - I always think that I am putting the Progression to the test, but in truth I know that it is in fact the Progression putting *me* to the test!
